The bodies of 228 tribal leaders have been found in Iraq after militants from the Islamic State exacted bloody revenge on Sunni leaders who have been organising resistance movements against them.

150 members of the Sunni Albu Nimr tribe were found in a mass grave near Ramadi in Anbar province this morning, while the corpses of another 48 members were discovered near Hit.

Yesterday ISIS militants massacred 30 men in broad daylight in the centre of Hit, which is also in Anbar, parading them through the streets and using loudspeakers to declare them apostates.

It is understood the murdered men were local tribal leaders who had allied with the Iraqi government and were helping to organise anti-ISIS operations throughout the province.

The bodies of 150 members of the Albu Nimr tribe were discovered after ISIS militants took the men from their villages to the city of Ramadi.

Police and security officials say they discovered the bodies in a mass grave outside the city this morning, with the indication being the militants shot them dead yesterday evening.

In a separate case, witnesses said they found 48 corpses belonging to members of the same Albu Nimr tribe near the town of Hit, roughly 50 miles north west of Ramadi.

Faleh al-Issawi, a councilman in the Anbar provincial government, said the bodies were discovered in a mass grave outside the town.
