Islamic State militants have killed a prominent Iraqi human rights lawyer. Sameera Salih Ali al-Nuaimy was kidnapped last week from her home in the Iraqi city of Mosul, which is under ISIS control, after she posted comments on social media criticizing the group’s destruction of religious sites. She was tortured for days and then executed. In Algeria, militants allied with ISIS executed French tourist Hervé Gourdel in apparent retaliation for French airstrikes in Iraq.
