ISIS self-declared police force in western Syria decapitated four men after accusing them of blasphemy, a rights group monitoring the Syrian conflict said on Saturday.

The men were beheaded in the countryside east of the city of Homs by the militant group's "Islamic Police", the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The Observatory reported a similar killing on Tuesday, when ISIS beheaded a man in a town square in the north of the country.

Residents and activists say ISIS has beheaded and stoned to death many people in areas it controls in Syria and Iraq for actions they see as violating their reading of law, such as adultery, homosexuality, stealing and blasphemy.
