The Islamic State extremist organization boasted Sunday that it had enslaved women from an Iraqi minority group in order to use them as concubines, as a rights organization detailed teenagers being bought and sold by fighters for as little as $1,000.

It was the first confirmation from the group of widespread allegations of detention and sexual abuse against Yazidi women.
