IS Beheads Syrian Accused of Killing 196 People



BEIRUT – Islamic State jihadists on Friday executed a man in the north Syrian town of Al-Bab for allegedly collaborating with Assad regime forces by using an electronic device allowing rockets from regime warplanes to home in on their targets.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the man was beheaded after Friday prayers in Al-Bab.

Other sources indicated he had been declared guilty of causing the deaths of 196 people who were killed in airstrikes carried out by forces loyal to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

In an internet forum, the jihadists published footage of the man taken before his death as he holds up a microchip that supposedly guided the aircraft to targets in the area.

He appeared in another photo with a license, issued by the Syrian military, for possessing a weapon.

The jihadists described their victim as one of the “Shabiha,” a term coined to refer to groups of armed militia supporting Syria’s secular Ba’ath Party government.

Meanwhile, at least nine IS members were killed in Deir al-Zour province in northeastern Syria, when they attacked a military airport controlled by regime forces.

The Observatory said that two Tunisians and a Moroccan were among the fighters killed in the attack on the airport that IS had attempted to overrun a week ago but was turned back by government troops.

In late June, the IS proclaimed an “Islamic caliphate” in the territories that have fallen under its control in Iraq and Syria.
