At least 14 people are dead after a group of Isis militants armed with machine guns attacked the headquarters of a Real Madrid supporters club. Men holding AK-47s stormed the supporters building in Samarra, 125km north of Baghdad, Iraq and opened fire on a group of around 50 people who had gathered to watch a game.
At least 14 people were killed and a further 20 were injured. The members would meet at the building for coffee and to watch Real Madrid games together. When there wasn’t a live match, they would put an old game on instead – such was their love of the football team.
The president of the club, Ziad Subhan, said: ‘A group of Islamist terrorists, from ISIS, came into the café armed with AK-47s, shooting at random at everyone who was inside.’
AS reports that Mr Subhan said the attackers ‘don’t like football… they think it’s anti-Muslim’.
