Islamic State executes 19 ‘Western spies’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Islamic State group has released a gory video in which its fighters are seen killing 19 people from Syria’s eastern province, accusing them of being spies for the West.
In the 12-minute video, the narrator mocks US and Western intelligence agencies for being unable to prevent IS fighters from carrying out attacks in France, Belgium and Germany.
Instead, the IS narrator says, Western intelligence recruited the 19-member spy cell to infiltrate Deir el-Zour province, an IS stronghold.
The video comes as a US- and Russia-brokered ceasefire is starting to take hold in parts of Syria.
