PHOTOS: Hours After Shocking World With Desert Execution Of 300 Syrian Soldiers, ISIS Parade Captured Kurds, Beheads One
Just
hours after Islamic State released shocking footage of the mass
execution of 300 Syrian national army soldiers in the Syrian Desert,
Islamic State have released a new decapitation video, threatening
America for the second time and urging the Kurds to break from their
alliance with the West against the caliphate.
The
grainy video, accompanied by the hashtag '2ndAmessagetoAmerica', shows
the vicious beheading of a Kurdish soldier, who was part of a group of
15 fighters likely to have been captured by Islamic State during the
fighting in Iraq.
The
group's first warning ten days ago was entitled 'A Message to America'
and showed the decapitation of American journalist James Foley.
In
the latest video, the captors first issued a warning they will continue
to decapitate prisoners should America continue to support the Kurds in
their fight against the Islamic State. They then behead one of the
captives on a sandy roadside in Iraq, where the Great Mosque of Mosul
is.
Kurdish
forces have been in fierce fighting with Islamic State since June and
their militias have been beginning to receive considerable amounts of
armaments from Western powers including the USA and UK.
It
is the latest front line in a brutal power struggle taking place
through Syria and Iraq as the Islamic State attempts to extend its
influence and impose Sharia law across the region.
Jihadists issue their warning that the beheadings will continue if the U.S. continues to support the Kurds
The victim is thought to be a member of the Kurdish militia, who have been fighting with Islamic State since June
