IS fighters behead 8 Shiites in Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA new video released by the Islamic State group shows its fighters cutting off the heads of eight men said to be Shiite Muslims.
The video, posted on social media Sunday, says the eight men were beheaded in the central Syrian province of Hama.
The men, wearing orange uniforms with their hands tied behind their backs, are led forward in a field by teenage boys. They are then handed over to a group of IS fighters — with each fighter receiving a knife from one of the boys before beheading the men.
An Islamic State fighter speaks in the video, using a derogatory term for Shiites and calling them “impure infidels.”
