Sources informed Al Mayadeen on Friday that the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq have arrested one of the Speicher Massacre's main perpetrators.

The terrorist called Dergham Abou Haidar reportedly executed hundreds of men in the infamous massacre.

Abou Haidar, according to Al Mayadeen's sources, confessed to having formed groups that partook in the massacre. He was being supported by a network of ISIS terrorists before being caught.

The Speicher Massacre was perpetrated by ISIS terrorists on June 12, 2014. Close to 2,000 students of the Speicher military Air Force Academy in Tikrit, north of Iraq, were killed in the massacre.

ISIS terrorists executed hundreds of unarmed Iraqi youths, and savagely mutilated the bodies of some. The massacre was recorded and published in order to spread fear among Iraqis.

An Iraqi court sentenced on June 27, 2021, nine people convicted of partaking in the massacre, noting that all the men in question confessed to having partaken in the crime and in the killing of a number of innocents as part of their terrorist agenda.
