ISIS terrorist in Iraq have brutally beheaded four men accused of “theft”, before displaying their bodies on railings in a town square.
Taken in ISIS' northern stronghold of Mosul, the photographs show four men being interviewed by the terrorists before they are dragged before bloodthirsty crowds eager to see their executions, Mail Online reports.
The savage punishment is a significantly more extreme than ISIS' usual punishment for thefts.
The first photograph shows the four men sitting on a sofa in what appears to an interview-type situation with their jihadi captors.
All of the men wear their beards without moustaches in a style commonly associated with “Islamist” beliefs and their military-style clothing suggests the victims may well have been fighters themselves.
If the men were ISIS members, that could be one explanation for why they were given considerably harsher punishments than those usually received by ordinary citizens accused of similar crimes.
A second photograph shows one of the men blindfolded and forced to his knees in a town square while a masked militant reads out the charges against him.
A final photograph shows all four men on their knees as the knife-wielding militants swarm upon them, before carrying out the brutal beheadings. Locals on the ground suggested the men's decapitated bodies were later put on public display in central Mosul.
