Iraq on Saturday commemorated the ninth anniversary of the Speicher massacre, which was committed by ISIS in June 2014. The terrorist group captured and murdered primarily students at the College of Aviation and security personnel within the well-known military base, "Speicher," in Salah ad Din Governorate in 2014. By June 2014, ISIS took control of one third of the country, including vast areas in the north, east and the west of Iraq before the government was capable of defeating the terrorist group three years later.
The United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by ISIS (UNITAD), confirmed on Saturday that Speicher crime represents the largest documented Massacre.
