ISIS terrorists release horrific video of 15 soldiers being led to their deaths

Dozens of decapitated heads are left on the ground as footage shows militants taking large knives out of a box

Executed: Troops being led to their death

Barbaric Islamic State terrorists have released an horrific video of captured soldiers being led to their deaths.

The 15 soldiers in dark overalls kneel in front of IS militants and, one by one, large knives are taken out of a box.

The beheadings are off camera but over a dozen decapitated heads are left on the ground by the bodies.

Footage also showed Peter Kassig, 26, captured last year while providing aid to Syrian people, wearing an orange jumpsuit and kneeling in front a knife-wielding hooded man.

Executed: Peter Kassig



The killer, who had a London accent and is known as Jihadi John, said Muslim extremists would kill other US citizens “on your street”.

Mr Kassig’s severed head is shown on the desert ground.

As the troops, thought to be loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, are killed a masked man says to the camera: “To Obama, the dog of Rome, we are slaughtering the soldiers of Bashar and tomorrow we will be slaughtering your soldiers.”

Prime Minister David Cameron described the killing of Kassig, who converted to Islam in captivity and changed his name to Abdul-Rahman, as “cold blooded murder”.






Kassig’s parents Ed and Paula said in a statement: “We prefer our son is written about and remembered for his important work and the love he shared with friends and family, not in the manner the hostage takers would use to manipulate Americans and further their cause.”

Meanwhile, fears have emerged that IS has at least 200,000 fighters, not up to 31,500 as previously estimated, and rule a third of Iraq and a third of Syria.

General Lord Dannatt, a former head of the Army, said British combat troops may have to fight in Iraq and Syria to wipe out IS.

Majid Freeman, a charity worker, who spoke at last month’s memorial service for beheaded Alan Henning, was claimed to have posted comments on social media apparently justifying the actions of IS terrorists.
