The Camp Speicher massacre occurred on 12 June 2014, when the Islamic State killed between 1,095 to 1,700[2] Iraqi cadets in an attack on Camp Speicher in Tikrit, Iraq. At the time of the massacre, there were between 5,000 and 100,000 unarmed cadets in the camp,[3] and ISIL fighters selected the Shias and non-Muslims for execution. It is the second deadliest act of terrorism in history,[4] only surpassed by the September 11 attacks.
The Iraqi government blamed the massacre on the Islamic State.
