A former Islamic State (IS) fighter from Iraq has reportedly admitted to killing as many as 70 of his countrymen and foreign contractors after he was forcefully recruited by the terror group.
According to FOX News, Omar, the 25-year-old former Islamic State fighter from the Iraqi village of Dor sal-hadeen, said that the IS came to his village and forced him to protect their lands.
He said he was given the option to either join the IS fight or get killed, and was made to watch while they slaughtered people in front of him.
Omar, who fled the IS army in October was soon captured by Kurdish security forces.
He said he became a prolific killer for ISIS, by his count racking up 70 executions in a matter of months and claimed that he killed his victims with rifle shots, the report added.
