ICC Note: ISIS has released images of a ‘spy’ that was crucified on Monday. The spy was said to be a member of the ‘crusader coalition’ trying to liberate parts of Iraq and Syria from the grips of the militant group.Crucifixion has been a choice form of execution ISIS has used against Christians in particular.

12/21/2016 Iraq/Syria (Christians Post): ISIS was said to have released images of the crucified spy on Monday, according to the news website heavy.com.

“In a new photo report purportedly released by the Islamic State, ISIS religious police known as ‘hisbah’ carry out a public crucifixion on a man accused of aiding the coalition,” noted heavy.com.

“The photo report was released on ISIS terrorist channels on December 19. An accompanying summary of the photo report reads: ‘The Killing of One of the Spies of the Crusader Coalition for His Apostasy.'”

A major Islamic terror organization primarily concentrated in portions of Iraq and Syria, ISIS has been known to use crucifixion as a method of execution.

For example, in June of 2014 ISIS executed eight Syrian soldiers who were resisting both the Jihadist group and the forces of President Bashar al-Assad.

“The eight men were brutally killed in the town square of Deir Hafar in the east of Aleppo province on June 28 because they were from rebel groups that had fought the jihadists as well as President Bashar Assad’s forces, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said,” reported rt.com.

“A ninth man was crucified alive in Aleppo province where he was nailed up for eight hours in Al-Bab near the Turkish border as a punishment, although he has reportedly survived the ordeal.”
