The Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) has released a slick execution video in revenge for the raid by Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and U.S. special forces that freed 70 Iraqi hostages who were in imminent danger of being killed. Twenty Islamic State terrorists were killed in the raid.
The video (WATCH BELOW) features an Islamic State jihadi, his face swathed in a black balaclava, threatening U.S. President Barack Obama and speaking in fluent, American-accented English.
The American stands over a kneeling orange-clad Kurdish fighter. Three other Islamic State jihadis also pose over kneeling Kurds.
Waving his knife menacingly, he says, “Obama, you have learned a new lesson. Six of the soldiers of the caliphate faced 400 of your children. They killed and injured them, by Allah’s grace.”
The American narrator appears to be referring to a recent alleged failed rescue attempt to free the Kurdish soldiers in the Kirkuk (Karkuk, in Arabic) province near the city of Al-Hawija, Iraq. The video is shot at the site where the Islamic State says Kurdish and U.S. forces landed. Read on, comment, and watch the extremely graphic video » | Sunday, November 1, 2015
