Girl, 9, pregnant after being raped by 10 Isis militants

A nine-year-old girl who was kept as a sex slave by Isis is pregnant after being raped by 10 militants, aid workers have said.

The girl was among 227 Yazidis released last week from Kirkuk, northern Iraq.

She had been held captive along with other women and young girls from the religious minority.

They were captured last June and finally crossed into Kurdistan on Wednesday.

The Yazidis were actually freed Monday in Nineveh province, northwest of Kirkuk, but did not make their way to a Kurdish-controlled territory until two days later.

The mass release of the Yazidis, kidnapped in Nineveh last year, is the second of its kind, after some 200 mainly elderly people were set free in January.

The group, that crossed back to safety Wednesday, including many elderly and disabled people, was driven back to the Kurdish city of Dohuk after a stop in the Yazidi holy town of Lalish.

Many had harrowing tales of the day in August last year when their heartland in the Sinjar region was attacked, of how they were forced to convert to Islam.

The Yazidis, who are neither Muslims nor Arabs, practice a unique faith and are considered infidels by the jihadists. They were hit harder than others.

They looked in danger of being wiped out of their ancestral land until a US-led air campaign turned the tide on IS advances in northern Iraq.

The UN has said the IS campaign of killings, abductions and rape against Yazidis may amount to genocide.

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

Wonder what the worldwide "Pro-Life" community will have to say about THIS pregnancy borne out of rape?


Why do I suspect THIS case will be the one, lone exception to The Rule?
