Trauma of Islamic State rule follows Iraqi women out of Mosul

By Stephen Kalin KHAZIR, Iraq (Reuters) - One wrong word to an Islamic State fighter in Mosul last year was all it took to set in motion a harrowing chain of events for an Iraqi woman who became so traumatized that she trembled in fear even after escaping the group's control. "I made the mistake of telling them my husband had been a victim of terrorism," she said in an interview on Tuesday at a government-run camp in Khazir, east of Mosul. Islamic State, which is putting up fierce resistance to a U.S.-backed offensive to retake Mosul, the group's last major stronghold in Iraq, has been accused of massacre, enslavement and rape since it swept across large swathes of the country's north and west in 2014.
