The terrorists ran away from a conflict in Sharqat in the Salahuddin province and were killed by order of Islamic State on Monday.

Before being thrown into a giant cauldron of boiling water, the seven absconders had their hands and feet bound tightly making absolutely sure of no escape, according to a local source.

Last month, ISIS executed 19 of its hapless soldiers who fled battles against security forces in al-Shuhada and al-Nassaf in Central Fallujah, an unnamed informant in the Western city of Fallujah told the American Herald Tribune.

The source said: 'This came after the issuance of death sentence against them by ISIL court.'

This time, instead of boiling water, the convicts were subjected to a firing squad and died from bullets through the head.

It is not the first time ISIS have used boiling water, Daily Mail reported.
