’ISIS’ Boasts Blowing up Captives of Rival al-Nusra Front

Local Editor

Gruesome images had been allegedly released by an "ISIS" affiliate in Syria, showing terrorists using explosives to kill prisoners believed to belong to al-Nusra Front, which is al-Qaeda's arm in Syria.

The captives appear to be tied together with explosives and are subsequently doused in gasoline. A loud bang can then be heard, creating a large explosion, tweets from the Terror Monitor organization show.

The brutal killing was allegedly carried out by Shuhada al-Yarmouk, who operates in the south of Syria and are affiliated with "ISIS".

Despite both "ISIS" and al-Nusra opposing Western ideals, the two terrorist groups are at war with each other. The head of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has called "ISIS" and its leader "illegitimate." Some members of al-Qaeda have described methods used by "ISIS" as barbaric.

"ISIS" militants had frequently staged mass executions of their enemies and the civilian population, in which dozens and even hundreds of prisoners had been shot in the head.

Later, individual and mass beheadings were staged theatrically for "ISIS" propaganda photos and videos posted online. The terrorists had also used other barbaric methods of execution, including decapitation with explosives, drownings, and burning the victim alive in a cage. They had also used RPG rocket launchers to execute prisoners tied to poles and have killed several people trapped in a car with a single rocket-propelled grenade.

"ISIS" forces in Afghanistan were also reportedly filmed forcing 10 captives to kneel on landmines in August.

Reports on the latest "ISIS"-Nusra standoff appeared days before the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a roadmap resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Syria. Notably, the only two groups excluded from the ceasefire plan and defined as terrorist were "ISIS" and al-Nusra Front.
