Relatives of more than 100 Iraqi soldiers abducted by terrorists of the so-called 'Islamic State of Iraq and the Leant' (ISIL) rallied before Baghdad's parliament on Tuesday demanding news of their loved ones.

The crowd, armed with sticks, metal bars and stones, urged the Iraqi government to work for liberating the soldiers.
"They were ready to bulldoze anyone standing in front of them ... They were saying 'Our sons are buried in the dust," a parliament employee said.
The relatives had been scheduled to address parliament about the fate of their loved ones. But they started to violently protest outside the building and then forced their way inside past several checkpoints, according to parliament employees.
ISIL captured the soldiers in June at the start of its occupation through northern Iraq.
The soldiers walked out of their base in Tikrit, north of the capital, believing a truce had been brokered. Instead, ISIL took them and later reported it had killed 1,700 soldiers, posting pictures of corpses online.
There have been no independent reports on how many died. Locals in Tikrit said in June they believed the number was in the hundreds.
