Footage of another fifteen members of Kurdish militia
captured by the brutal jihadists has been released
Just hours after Islamic State released shocking footage of
the mass execution of 300 Syrian national army soldiers in the Syrian Desert, Islamic
State have released a new decapitation video, threatening America for the
second time and urging the Kurds to break from their alliance with the West
against the caliphate.
The grainy video, accompanied by the hashtag
'2ndAmessagetoAmerica', shows the vicious beheading of a Kurdish soldier, who
was part of a group of 15 fighters likely to have been captured by Islamic State
during the fighting in Iraq.
The group's first warning ten days ago was entitled 'A
Message to America' and showed the decapitation of American journalist James
Foley.
In the latest video, the captors first issued a warning they
will continue to decapitate prisoners should America continue to support the Kurds
in their fight against the Islamic State. They then behead one of the captives
on a sandy roadside in Iraq, where the Great Mosque of Mosul is.
Kurdish forces have been in fierce fighting with Islamic
State since June and their militias have been beginning to receive considerable
amounts of armaments from Western powers including the USA and UK.
It is the latest front line in a brutal power struggle
taking place through Syria and Iraq as the Islamic State attempts to extend its
influence and impose Sharia law across the region.
Jihadists issue their warning that the beheadings will
continue if the U.S. continues to support the Kurds
The victim is thought to be a member of the Kurdish militia,
who have been fighting with Islamic State since June

Another ISIS war crime': Footage and photographs have
emerged of Islamic State fighters marching more than 200 soldiers across the
desert to their deaths in only their underwear after capturing Syria's Tabqa
air base
Slaughter: A separate image showed masked gunmen preparing
to shoot seven men from the same air base. The chilling photograph was released
by the Raqqa Media Center yesterday and tallies with other reporting
Horror: The video, too graphic to be published in full,
fades to black before revealing a chain of men's bodies
