Nowhere to go: Kurds close crossings to fleeing Iraqis
6/28/2014 10:42:44 AM
- NEW: Kurdish security forces allow families into region, with significant restrictions
- A combatant tells CNN that ISIS remains in control of Tikrit
- Iraqi military official says Iraqi jets are targeting ISIS locations in city of Mosul
- Reports continue to emerge of atrocities committed by both sides
Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region has put tight restrictions on the border crossings used by Iraqis fleeing extremist militants and airstrikes in the northern city of Mosul on Saturday, raising fears of a humanitarian crisis as some desperate families may be left with nowhere to go.
The Kurdish regional government's decision to first close the border crossings and then reopen them with restrictions came on the same day Iraq's security forces went on the offensive, carrying out airstrikes in Mosul and fighting to take back Tikrit from Islamic State of Iraq and Syria fighters, known as ISIS.
The offensive appeared to mark a turn for Iraqi security forces, who were routed by ISIS fighters this month during a lighting advance that saw the al Qaeda offshoot seize large swaths of northern and western Iraq.
State media and a local tribal leader reported that Iraqi forces had retaken the city of Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's hometown.
Sheikh Khamis al-Joubouri, a key tribal leader in Tikrit, told CNN that the Iraqi security forces entered the city supported by special forces and fighters from among the local tribes, and had gained control.
He said ISIS fighters retreated in the direction of Kirkuk and Nineveh provinces.
However, amid claim and counter-claim, a combatant told a CNN freelance reporter that ISIS fighters remained in control of Tikrit, but that there are fierce clashes in an area about 20 kilometers from the city center, toward Samarra.
State-run Iraqiya TV reported that the Iraqi army and volunteer militia groups had cleared ISIS fighters from the city, having advanced on the city from four directions.
Sabah Numan, a Counter Terrorism Unit spokesman, told the station that 120 militants had been killed and 20 vehicles destroyed in a large-scale operation that began Saturday morning.
He did not provide any evidence of the claim, and CNN cannot independently confirm the reports.
Sunni tribes wade into fight
Al-Joubouri said that the tribes were not aligned with the government or with ISIS and had stayed out of the fight until now.
But, he said, when ISIS fighters who arrived in Tikrit robbed banks and carried out executions, as well as bringing the local economy to a standstill, the tribal leaders offered their help to the Iraqi security forces poised outside the city. The tribal leaders shared their knowledge of the city, including routes and known ISIS positions, he said.
On Friday, Human Rights Watch reported that two mass graves believed to contain the bodies of Iraqi soldiers, police and civilians killed by ISIS and their militant allies had been discovered in Tikrit.
Iraq's military spokesman, Maj. Gen. Qassim Atta, told a news briefing Saturday that Iraq's forces had regained the upper hand against ISIS and were now being supported by the tribes.
"We are advancing in all our fights," he said.
As part of that fight, Iraqi security forces broke up a terror cell in the predominantly Sunni neighborhood of al-Amiriya in eastern Baghdad, the Ministry of Defense said. Nine people were arrested following a raid Friday on a Sunni mosque where the ministry claims security forces uncovered cache of weapons and bombs.
After being interrogated, those detained admitted they planned to carry out attacks during the holy month of Ramadan, which begins Sunday, the ministry said.
Additionally, Iraqi airstrikes targeted ISIS fighters building an earthen dam along the Euphrates River in Anbar province.
Families flee
Iraq's air force carried out a series of airstrikes on Mosul, according to a senior Iraqi military official.
The airstrikes targeted four locations inside Iraq's second-largest city, including ISIS headquarters, said Mazen al-Safaar, a traffic director in Mosul.
But a doctor says the airstrikes also hit Mosul's administration building and the Old City's shopping district.
At least seven civilians were killed and two were wounded in the airstrikes, according to Dr. Salaheldin al-Naimi, the director of the health administration.
Hundreds of thousands fled when Mosul fell to ISIS two and a half weeks ago. Many headed for Kurdish-controlled areas.
Renewed conflict in the city, located about 420 kilometers (260 miles) north of the capital, Baghdad, forced many more to flee -- but it is unclear what options they have left.
They were initially barred Saturday by the Kurdish fighting force -- known as the Peshmerga -- from entering the region through checkpoints.
But that was lifted later in the day.
The Peshmerga allowed families from Mosul to enter the Kurdish region, but only after undergoing security and background checks, two Kurdish security officials told CNN.
They also must have a sponsor who lives in the region, they said.
This move comes two days after a suicide car bomb struck a checkpoint manned by Kurdish forces in Kolchali, northeast of Mosul, according to Kurdish security forces in Irbil.
At least one Kurdish security officer was killed and 15 other people were wounded in that incident, security forces said.
Mass graves, executions
In addition to the alleged executions in Tikrit, reports continue to emerge of atrocities committed by both sides.
Human Rights Watch, citing displaced residents and local activists and journalists, said Saturday that ISIS fighters kidnapped at least 40 Shiite Turkmen, dynamited four Shia places of worship, and ransacked homes and farms in two Shia villages just outside Mosul.
The few Sunni villagers who remained in Guba and Shireekhan told those who fled that at least some of the kidnapped Turkmen had been killed, the rights group said. However, they had not seen bodies and could not give more information.
ISIS destroyed seven Shia places of worship in the predominantly Shia Turkmen city of Tal Afar, about 30 miles west of Mosul, earlier in the week, Human Rights Watch added, citing local sources.
"The ISIS rampage is part of a long pattern of attack by armed Sunni extremists on Turkmen and other minorities," said Letta Tayler, senior terrorism and counterterrorism researcher at Human Rights Watch. "The killing, bombing, and pillaging threatens to displace entire communities, possibly forever."
On Friday, Amnesty International said it had gathered evidence pointing to a pattern of "extrajudicial executions" of Sunni detainees by government forces and Shiite militias in Tal Afar, Mosul and Baquba.
"Reports of multiple incidents where Sunni detainees have been killed in cold blood while in the custody of Iraqi forces are deeply alarming," said Donatella Rovera, Amnesty International's senior crisis response adviser, who is in northern Iraq.
"The killings suggest a worrying pattern of reprisal attacks against Sunnis in retaliation for ISIS."

Brazil defeats Chile on penalties

- Game had finished at 1-1 after 120 minutes

(CNN) -- And so the carnival carries on.
Brazil, the team which manages to thrill and frustrate almost simultaneously, clinched its place in the quarterfinal of the World Cup following a tension-fueled encounter with Chile.
A 3-2 victory on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Belo Horizonte means Luiz Felipe Scolari's side's quest to win the World Cup on home soil remains alive.
It will now turn its attention to a last eight contest with Colombia -- a team which has thrilled so far in this tournament.
While Brazil will take the plaudits, Chile should be commended for a performance which at times defied the ability of the human body to run and hustle as its players did.
Having already scored an own-goal to gift Brazil a 19th minute lead, Gonzalo Jara was to be the fall guy at the death.
With Brazil leading the shootout 3-2, Jara needed to score to keep his country in the tournament.
As he stood, eyes firmly on the goal, two nations held their breath -- but only one broke out into ecstasy as the ball smashed against the post and rolled away to safety.
As those in red flopped to the ground, their bodies bruised and beaten, tears running down their faces, their opponents danced their way around the field, perhaps more out of relief than happiness.
Brazil, still haunted by its failure 64 years ago when it was beaten by Uruguay in the 1950 final, cannot afford anything but triumph.
It will now move on to face Colombia in Fortaleza on Friday -- but there will still be some concerns over Brazil's performance.
This was not the showing of a side which appeared ready to become World champion.
Poor in possession, unnerving in defense, most of those at the Estadio Mineirao were put through a painstaking afternoon as its side seldom showed what has become expected of a Brazilian side.
And yet, before kickoff, every single historic fact pointed towards a Brazil victory.
Brazil, which had not lost a competitive home game since 1975, has dominated encounters between the two sides in recent years.
On the 26 occasions Chile had ventured onto Brazilian turf to face the host nation, it had lost 20 and drawn six -- not a record to inspire confidence ahead of a last-16 clash.
Add to that Brazil's victory over Chile in South Africa four years ago and it's easy to understand why Scolari's men headed into the contest as the favorite.
But this Chile side, coached by the irrepressible Jorge Sampaoli, appears to have little interest in history.
Its victory over world champion Spain during the group stage gave a glimpse of the talent within the squad and led by the prolific Alexis Sanchez, it soon gave notice that it was not about to allow Brazil to simply swat it aside.
Even when it fell behind, Jara, inadvertently directing Thiago Silva's header into his own net under pressure from David Luiz, Chile refused to buckle.

— Anup Kaphle (@AnupKaphle) June 28, 2014 Playing with an energy and intensity which belied the energy sapping conditions, the visiting side soon crafted an equalizer, which perhaps owed more to Brazil's poor defending than any Chilean magic.
A careless pass allowed Chile to pick up possession and Sanchez weaved his way into the penalty area before carefully placing the ball beyond the outstretched arm of Julio Cesar.
The Barcelona forward, who has scored 10 goals in his past 14 international games, has been his side's talisman throughout the tournament -- and his pace, power and trickery continued to cause Brazil problems.
But where Sanchez managed to shine, Neymar, the man who had lit up this World Cup, failed to find his way into the contest.
The 22-year-old, who had scored four goals in his opening three games, received a kick in the first half which appeared to leave him struggling.
But Brazil's golden boy, even when not fully fit, still managed to cause problems and his header from an Oscar cross flew narrowly wide as the host nation threatened.
Minutes later, Neymar was at it again -- this time leaving the Chilean defense for dead only for the much maligned Fred to lash the ball harmlessly over the crossbar.
After a fierce and frantic first half, both teams emerged in more cautious manner following the interval.
Chile, so disciplined in defense and careful in possession, appeared to be the calmer of the two as nerves began to creep into Brazil's game.
And yet, for all of Brazil's inability to keep the ball, it still looked the more threatening.
As those draped in yellow packed inside the Estadio Mineirao began to raise their voices, its players began to respond.
But instead of the goal it so badly craved, Brazil could only find frustration.
Hulk, the man with a comic book hero's name but with the first touch of a dastardly villain, thought he had found a way through.
The forward took Marcelo's long ball on his chest but the ball appeared to roll down his arm before he fired the ball past Claudio Bravo.
As the Brazilians around the world rejoiced, the whistle of English referee Howard Webb could scarcely be heard.
First, there was disbelief. Then there was frustration. Then anger.
Webb's call looked to have taken the wind out of Brazil's sails -- and it could have been heading out of the tournament but for a wonderful save by Cesar.
Mauricio Isla made his way down the right and his cross picked out the tireless Charles Aranguiz, whose effort was brilliantly parried by the Brazilian goalkeeper.
With both sets of players appearing to settle for extra-time, chances were at a premium, although Bravo denied both Neymar and Hulk as the clock ticked down.
Extra time became a war of attrition with both sides guilty of giving the ball away and both sets of players desperate not to lose rather than being desperate to win.
And yet, with a minute of extra time remaining, Chile came within millimeters of dumping Brazil out of the World Cup.
Maurico Pinilla, a substitute, received the ball just outside the penalty area before swiveling sharply and smashing an audacious effort against the crossbar.
"That near goal right at the end has been really hard for us," Chile coach Sampaoli told reporters.
"If we had scored, we would have made history for ever. It would have been the 'Mineirazo'. We so nearly won."
With the crossbar still shaking, both sets of players were left to confront the dreaded scenario of penalty kicks.
Luiz was the first man to step up -- showing no sign of being overawed by the occasion and coolly firing the ball past Bravo.
Then it was left to Cesar to steal the show as he denied Pinilla and Sanchez with two fine saves.
Brazil appeared to be coasting but there was still a twist in the tale as Willian and then Hulk both failed and Aranguiz and Marcelo Diaz brought Chile level.
Neymar then showed nerves of steel to put Brazil back in front before Jara struck his effort against the inside of the post.
Up stepped Jara -- the weight of a nation upon his shoulders and a sea of yellow shirts which would drown him given the chance.
The defender stepped up and struck his kick to the goalkeeper's left only for the ball to hit the inside of the post and roll away to safety.
First, there was silence. Then came the roar -- the outpouring of relief. Then the singing, the dancing, the realization that Brazil's dream remains alive.
While Chile's players fell to the ground inconsolable with grief, Brazil's ran into each others arms and celebrated.
Lucky? Fortuitous? Nobody wearing yellow will care. The dream lives on.
Colombia advances, Uruguay out

- Colombia to face Brazil in World Cup quarterfinal
- Colombia defeats Uruguay
- First time country has qualified for last eight

(CNN) -- Brazil had promised there would be a time where the world would finally see a special player.
He wears a yellow shirt and produces moments of magic which mere mortals can scarcely dream of replicating -- unless on their games console.
He's 22 years of age -- a player with quick feet, a mind which sees each and every move before his opponents have drawn breath, a player who can score a goal when for all the world it appears impossible.
What Brazil didn't promise is that he would wear the yellow of Colombia -- and his name is James Rodriguez.
While Neymar might be the face of this World Cup, Rodriguez is the man that football fans have fallen for.
His two strikes propelled Colombia to a 2-0 victory over Uruguay and into its first ever World Cup quarterfinal where it will play Brazil and made him top scorer in the tournament with five goals.
It promises to be some occasion in Fortaleza where the two 22-year-old stars will take to the same field -- but if Rodriguez reproduces this performance, Brazil will surely be heading out.
In Colombia, they call him "El Pibe Nueva" -- the New Kid -- the man who takes on the mantle of former Colombian great Carlos Valderrama.
Valderrama, known as "El Pibe" is widely acknowledged as the greatest Colombian to have kicked a ball -- though even he expects that to change.
This contest was an example of the New Kid rising to the top.
Sometimes you witness something so special that it's difficult to imagine quite how it came to pass.
Perhaps on Friday night, Rodriguez went to sleep and dreamed of how he'd score the perfect World Cup goal.
But even then, as the moon looked down upon Rio de Janeiro, it is doubtful that Rodriguez would have envisaged scoring a goal so perfect that it will no doubt be played over and over for years to come.
Make no mistake -- Rodriguez's volleyed strike, which would have caused a gasp and a sharp intake of breath from those watching around the world, was a moment never to be forgotten.
That will be clear once kids across Colombia, Brazil and indeed across the world, begin trying to recreate the goal scored by football's latest sensation.
It would be wrong to call Rodriguez a new star -- he moved to French club Monaco from Porto last year for around $65 million.
But his emergence on the international stage has captured the imagination of those who have yet to witness the talented playmaker in action.
His two goals helped secure Colombia's place in Friday's quarterfinal against a Brazil side which sneaked past Chile courtesy of a penalty shootout victory.
While it may be the host nation, Brazil will surely feel more pressure and anxiety at the thought of facing this Colombia team -- a side which plays with a style and swagger which Luiz Scolari's men have so far lacked.
That everyone who walked out of the Maracana after the game was speaking about Rodriguez was a testament to the player but also ensured another star name was temporarily forgotten at least.
After all, much of the lead up to the game had focused on one man -- a man who was nowhere to be seen.
Lucho con nosotros. Lucho is with us. Lucho avec nous. Lucho con noi. #COLURU #Brasil2014 @luis16suarez pic.twitter.com/IesuRGehiH
— Edi Cavani Official (@ECavaniOfficial) June 28, 2014 Luis Suarez, banned for four months from all football and suspended for nine international games following his bite on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini, may have been absent from the Maracana, but his shadow loomed large.
Uruguay's players gathered in the dressing room to take photos of themselves holding his shirt, while the entire country has remained defiant in the defense of its hero.
FIFA confirmed to CNN that the Uruguayan Football Association will appeal Suarez's ban -- but he will certainly take no further part in this World Cup.
Instead, back at home in Uruguay, he could only watch on as his teammates were brushed aside by a vibrant, exciting and hugely talented Colombian side.
Colombia, playing in its first World Cup since 1998, has produced some of the most eye-catching football witnessed so far -- an impressive feat given the absence of Falcao, the team's star striker.
Led by Rodriguez, this is a team which oozes flair, adventure and style while still ensuring the backdoor remains slammed firmly shut.
The Monaco playmaker had already scored in each of the three group games -- but none of those goals match the finish he produced to give his side a 28th minute lead.
When the ball popped up to him, some 20-yards from goal, most would have expected Rodriguez to control the ball, take it down, and possibly have an effort on goal.
What nobody expected, nor thought possible was what happened next.
Rodriguez took the ball on his chest, allowed the ball to drop, and then unleashed a volley which flew past Fernando Muslera in the Uruguay goal, hit the underside of the crossbar, and nestled in the back of the net.
It was thing of beauty -- a goal which took the breath away.
As Rodriguez ran away to celebrate with what has become an almost traditional dance, Uruguay appeared stunned by what had just occurred.
With its own talisman missing, it was Colombia's which began to dictate the game.
Rodriguez, appearing at his first World Cup, plays with a poise and experience which belies his years.
Each and every time the ball arrives at his feet there is a buzz, a hum, around the stadium which greets the way he controls the ball, whenever he shifts it right, moves it left, or finds a teammate.
But it's not all about Rodriguez. Pekerman, who led Argentina to the quarterfinals in 2006 where it was beaten by Germany, has molded together a team which thrills and excites each time it takes the field.
Its second goal was a case in point -- a wonderful team move which led to Rodriguez slotting the ball home from close range after Juan Cuadrado had headed the ball back across goal.
That goal, which arrived five minutes after the interval, killed off any hopes Uruguay might have had of launching a comeback.
It briefly rallied late on with David Ospina in the Colombia goal forced to make saves from Cristian Rodriguez and Maxi Pereira, but its late pressure proved futile.

— AUFseleccion (@AUFseleccion) June 28, 2014 Instead, Uruguay's players will fly home where Suarez will no doubt be waiting for them and wondering what might have had happened had he been able to play.
But for all the talk of absent stars, it was the name of a new one which will undoubtedly be the new focus of this World Cup.
He's only 22. He plays in yellow and he produces moments of magic which bring football fans to their feet.
He's not Neymar though -- no. He's James Rodriguez -- and he's coming for Brazil.

Pakistani newlyweds decapitated for 'honor'
6/28/2014 9:16:36 PM
- Newlyweds in Pakistan are killed by the bride's family over opposition to the wedding
- Police say the couple was lured back to the bride's village, tied up and beheaded
- Family members turned themselves in after the murders and are now jailed
(CNN) -- A young newlywed couple in northeastern Pakistan died a horrible death at the hands of the bride's family in the latest honor killing in the nation, police in Pakistan said Saturday.
The couple, identified as Sajjad Ahmed, 26, and Muawia Bibi, 18, were married by a Pakistani court on June 18 against the wishes of the Bibi family, Punjab police official Mohammad Ahsanullah told CNN.
On Thursday, the bride's father and uncles lured the couple back to the village of Satrah in Punjab province, where Ahsanullah said the pair were tied up and then decapitated.
Despite the fact that there were no outside witnesses, family members turned themselves in to police and are now jailed in the Sialkot district of Punjab, Ahsanulluh said.
Such killings often originate from tribal traditions in Pakistan and usually happen in rural areas. Human rights activists said bystanders, including police, don't often interfere because the killings are considered to be family matters.
According to the United Nations, some 5,000 women are murdered by family members in honor killings every year.
However, women's advocacy groups believe the crime is underreported and that the actual death toll from this all too common crime is actually much higher.
In Pakistan, 869 women were victims of honor killings last year, according to the country's human rights commission.
Earlier in June, 18-year-old Saba Masqood was found left for dead inside of a sack in a canal in Pakistan, injured by gunfire. She accused her brother and father of shooting her because they didn't approve of her marriage to a neighbor. She survived, but many aren't so lucky.
Last month, the death of a pregnant Pakistani woman made headlines around the world.
Farzana Parveen, 25, was attacked with bricks by about 20 people, including members of her immediate family, police said. And her husband, Mohammad Iqbal, told CNN that he had killed his first wife six years ago so he could marry Parveen.
