Violent clashes in Tikrit as counter-offensive continues

Iraqi army sources have told news site al-Masry al-Yawm that the counter-offensive against militants in Salah al-Din province, particularly in its central city Tikrit, is ongoing, and has led to violent clashes on Sunday.

A site apparently controlled by ISIL militants in Salah al-Din posted pictures seeming to show a mass execution of Iraqi soldiers by insurgents north of Tikrit.
