We found site of pilot’s murder – activists
Members of the anti-Islamic State activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently say they have pinpointed the location where the terrorist group burned a Jordanian pilot alive.
The activists used landmarks seen in the background of the slickly produced film showing the pilot’s death to determine that the gruesome crime was committed in the southern end of the city Raqqa, a few hundred meters north of the Euphrates River, the Daily Mail reports.
A tower in the background was an important clue to the location.
If confirmed, the information may help the anti-IS alliance better target the group.
