'I had a great will to live': Lone survivor of ISIS massacre that killed as many as 560 played dead to escape terrorists

ISIS claimed it killed 1,700 Iraqi soldiers during June massacre. One survived only because he played dead when the bullet missed his head.
ISIS terrorists claimed to have slaughtered 1,700 Iraqi soldiers in June.
Make that 1,699.
Ali Hussein Kadhim, the only known survivor of June's Tirkit massacre, said he narrowly escaped death by pretending to be dead after the bullet intended to kill him missed his head, he told the New York Times.
He then spent weeks living on the lam dodging the Islamic State — which overran large parts of Iraq and Syria this summer and beaded two kidnapped American journalists.
But the June massacre remains one of the deadliest incidents in ISIS's reign of terror. It killed scores: ISIS claims it murdered 1,700 people, while Human Rights Watch confirmed between 560 and 770 deaths.
Kadhim's story starts earlier this year.
The married 23-year-old was out of work and desperate to provide for his family. Broke and with two small children to care for, Kadhim joined Iraq's military on June 1.
"We don't have anything. No work, no salary, no land. So where could I go?" he told the newspaper.
He was immediately stationed at Camp Speicher in Tikrit. Ten days later, ISIS captured Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city.
Fearing the terrorists would soon take Tikrit — which is about 150 miles south of Mosul — the base's officers fled. Alone, the recruits decided to follow suit.
About 3,000 soldiers put on civilian clothes and marched off the base. But just a few miles into their escape the men met the ISIS fighters
