Syria: Dozens of ISIS terrorists were killed after breaking their Ramadan fast with a poisoned meal, according to reports.
The venomous dinner was dished up to 145 jihadist for iftar - the traditional meal which celebrates the end of the day's fasting.
A short time after the meal, eaten in the Iraqi city of Mosul, 45 of the fighters died.
It's not clear if it was a deliberate toxic attack or just a bout of food poisoning said a spokesman for the Kurdish Democratic Party.
Reports of the mass death appeared in local Iraqi media, according to Haaretz.

Mosul, which had a population of over 1 million people, was captured by Islamic State fighters in June and is the largest city in the group's self-declared caliphate.
It covers a stretch of land straddling the border between northern Iraq and eastern Syria.
This incident is not the first time ISIS is reported to have suffered casualties as a result of poisoned food.
In November, revolutionaries posing as cooks infiltrated one of the terrorists' camps and slipped a deadly substance into their lunch, trying to kill as many of the fighters as possible .
Sources in the Syrian Free Army said a dozen Islamic State militants perished after eating a contaminated lunch at the Fath El-Sahel camp, where 1,200 are based.
