The Islamic State has found a new way to execute prisoners that might be even more barbaric than what the group has used before.
Recently in Mosul, Iraq, ISIS publicly executed 25 civilians by tying them with ropes and putting them in a cage that was slowly lowered into a large tub containing nitric acid. The organs of the victims dissolved in the acid, Iraqi News reported.
Nitric acid, or HNO3, is an extremely corrosive and toxic chemical that results in severe burns in case of direct contact with the human body
The executed men were accused of spying and collaborating with Iraqi security forces.
The 25 citizens of Mosul were not the only ones killed by ISIS last week. The Jihadists also executed 11 civilians in the city for using cellphones.
The nitric acid is just the latest in the Islamic State’s barbaric execution methods.
Also in Mosul, ISIS burnt alive eight of its own fighters in a bakery oven after they were accused of fleeing a battle with the Iraqi army in Anbar province. The burnt bodies were then displayed in the streets of the city to serve as deterrent for other possible deserters.
In northern Iraq, the Islamic State used dogs to execute some of its commanders who had allegedly failed to fulfill their duties. The ISIS commanders were tied to trees and then hungry dogs were allowed to maul them to death.
In Yemen, Islamic State terrorists were trying to outdo their colleagues in Iraq.
The executions of three captured Yemenite soldiers could be seen in a new propaganda video titled “Crush your enemies” that also featured a Dutch ISIS suicide bomber by the name of Abu Hanifa al-Holandi. The Dutch Jihadist, also known by the name of Mazen, can be seen blowing himself up close to the presidential palace in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.
The executions of the soldiers were carried out in different ways.
One soldier had was relatively fortunate: He was tied to a chair and then shot to death. The second one was beheaded. The third soldier was made to lay his head on a rock; two ISIS executioners then lifted up a large boulder and crushed his head.
Meanwhile in Syria, Islamic State went on a killing spree Monday. More than 148 people were killed in seven simultaneous suicide bombings carried out by terrorists in the seaside cities of Tartus and Jableh in northwest Syria.
Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said they were “without a doubt the deadliest attacks” on the two cities since the start of the 5-year-old civil war in Syria. Tartus is the home base of the Russian navy and has been relatively quiet during the war, which has killed more than 450,000 people.
The increase in suicide bombings carried out by ISIS in both Syria and Iraq is regarded as a change in the strategy of the group that until recently was expanding the territories under its control.
The Islamic State is now facing mounting pressure in both Syria and Iraq and has already lost a third of its territory in these countries.
On Saturday the U.S. Air Force dropped fliers warning the residents of Raqqa, the capital of ISIS in Syria, to get out of the city immediately. The Syrian Democratic Forces are reportedly gearing up for an offensive that aims to liberate the ISIS stronghold.
In Iraq, government forces together with Shiite militias Monday launched a long-awaited offensive on Fallujah, a city 25 miles from Baghdad that was captured by the Islamic State in 2014. The latest news is that the Iraqi army has already entered the outskirts of the beleaguered city.
A video that was posted on YouTube Monday shows the intense bombardment on ISIS positions in Fallujah.
