I can't comprehend how a population can kill that many of their own people. They aren't even an "other" people, which has been the most common scapegoat lately. Same skin color, same religion, same language, same homeland.

A lot of it is being done by mercenaries brought in from Afghanistan and Iraq

How do you know? Do you have links for that information? And if true they’d be regular murders brought in, not mercenaries.

Mercenaries are murderers for hire.

Also, read the article. :)

I think the point is that its believed they were foreigners who were part of iranian proxy forces (e.g. iranian backed militias in iraq), so weren't doing it for money but out of some sort of loyalty to the iranian regime or ideology.

Usually mercenaries mean people doing it for money not ideology who get paid significantly more than your average soldier.
