Hundreds of ISIS jihadis infected with diseases crammed into tiny Mosul prison in 45C heat

HUNDREDS of suspected ISIS jihadis are being held in a cramped and stifling prison near Mosul after they were captured by Iraqi forces liberating the city.

Reporters from the Associated Press saw more than 100 prisoners packed into one dark room, lined up shoulder to shoulder on the floor.

There is no electricity or ventilation, despite daytime temperatures well over 45C (110F).

The Iraqi officer in charge of the grim jail said it currently holds some 370 prisoners.

He says authorities were overwhelmed with detainees as Iraqi forces cleared the last neighborhoods of the city earlier this month at the end of a gruelling nine-month campaign.

He said: “Prisoners are infected with diseases, lots of health and skin problems, because they’re not exposed to the sun.

“The majority can’t walk. Their legs are swollen because they can’t move.”

More than 1,150 detainees have passed through the prison over the past three months, with 540 sent to Baghdad for further investigation, the officer said…

Ali Fahour punch: Former AFL diversity manager charged over on-field incident

ALI Fahour has been charged over the on-field punch that cost him his job with the AFL.

The former diversity manager was hit with a 14-match suspension over the incident involving Whittlesea opponent Dale Saddington on Saturday during a match in the Northern Football League.

A Victoria Police spokesman said: “A 35-year-old Preston man has been charged on summons with intentionally cause injury, recklessly cause injury and unlawful assault following an incident in Whittlesea on 1 July.

“He is due to appear at the Heidelberg Magistrates Court on October 11, 2017.”

The suspension triggered a lifetime ban from football for the West Preston-Lakeside player.

AFL chief Gillon McLachlan accepted his resignation this week.

The AFL chief fronted the media yesterday where he announced Fahour would be replaced by Grant Williams on an interim basis until a new appointment was made.

What’s open on ANZAC Day in Australia. Beers from 6am? You’ll struggle to buy a jacket!

Big supermarkets will not open until lunchtime on ANZAC Day, with those in Perth and Adelaide not opening at all – but it is possible to get a drink from 6am at certain RSL clubs.

While many will be up at the crack of dawn on Tuesday to commemorate ANZAC Day, it will be hours more before the shops open.

Those who are planning on a big day may want to stock up on breakfast items by Monday to avoid being caught out, as most stores around the country will be closed until lunch time.

One big exception is RSL clubs, many of which will host a breakfast following the dawn service, and which can begin trading from 6am.

Groceries will not be available from large retail outlets such as Woolworths or Coles on Tuesday before lunch time.

Woolworths and Coles stores around NSW and Victoria will open at 1pm, while stores in Tasmania open from 12.30pm.

Perth and Adelaide metropolitan supermarkets will not open at all, while some stores outside of the city centres will open from 12pm.
