Ali Hussein Kadhim is the only known survivor of a massacre in which ISIS - now known as Islamic State (IS) - murdered hundreds of Iraqi army recruits. <\/p>\n
After capturing the soldiers in Tikrit in June, IS allowed the Sunni among them to repent for their services to the government. <\/p>\n
But Kadhim, 23, and all the other \"infidel\" Shia were marked for death. <\/p>\n
Ali Hussein Kadhim survived by pretending to be dead <\/p>\n
Lined into groups and marked for death, they were shot one by one so that their bodies would fall into a freshly-dug trench. <\/p>\n
Blood spattered across Kadhim's face when the first man in his line was murdered. <\/p>\n
He remembered seeing another militant with a camera, filming everything for the video IS would later upload. <\/p>\n
I saw my daughter in my mind, saying father, father,' he said. <\/p>\n
When they came to shoot him, he felt a bullet fly past his head, and he fell down, pretending to be shot. <\/p>\n
Later, militants walked among the dead. When they spotted another Shia who had been shot but had survived, they said they would leave him to \"suffer\" rather than finish him off. <\/p>\n
