Islamic extremists have publicly crucified two
Syrian rebels in northeastern Syria in revenge for a grenade attack on members
of their group.
The jihadist Islamic State of Iraq said it had
executed a total of seven prisoners who it claimed had carried out a grenade
attack on one of its fighters earlier this month in the Euphrates Valley city of Raqqa.
The group, which even Al-Qaeda have been keen to
distance themselves from, said on Twitter: ‘Ten days ago, attackers on a
motorbike threw a grenade at an ISIL fighter at the Naim roundabout. A Muslim civilian had his leg blown
off and a child was killed.
Our fighters immediately set up a roadblock and
succeeded in capturing them. They were then able to detain other members of the
cell.ow//
The Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
posted a photograph of the two prisoners being crucified at the roundabout.
Passers-by appear to be walking past the two men
apparently unfazed.
One of the men is pictured with a banner wrapped round his
body which reads: ‘This man fought against Muslims and threw a grenade in
this place.’
