Isis video showing Libyan 'spy' dragged to death behind a speeding truck betrays disturbing new trend
In its propaganda for international audiences, Isis now spins a story of state-building and 'utopia'.
But the executions go on in the regions it controls and, for Libya, experts fear it is only going to get worse
Isis released a video showing the killing of a Libyan captive by dragging him behind a car.
Here he is seen 'confessing' to camera
The Isis militant group has released an execution video showing a man being dragged to death behind a truck, in what experts say could be the start of a disturbing trend of new releases.
The footage, produced by Isis’s “Cyrenaica Province” in Libya, appears to show a man “confessing” to spying before he is pulled along the ground by a speeding vehicle.
Libyan media have named the man as 43-year-old Rushdi Ageela Omran al-Masouri.
Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, the grey-bearded man can be seen admitting links to Libyan militias before he is killed.
The video also includes footage of another jumpsuit-wearing captive, identified by the Libyan Herald as 23-year-old Mohamed Tayib Ali al-Amri, being forced to dig his own grave before he is shot in the head with a shotgun.
While the brutality of the killings is not unheard of for the Isis group, the methods of execution appear unprecedented, prompting experts to suggest the footage could point towards a new style of video showing the reign of terror in the so-called “Islamic State” territories.
