| [RUDAW.NET] The Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (ISIS) executed another journalist in the group's stronghold of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... on Sunday after a summary trial, a Kurdish official said. "The journalist Yahya al-Khatib was kidnapped by ISIS hard boyz at his home on Saturday," Ismat Rajab, an official of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in Mosul, told Rudaw. "He was executed today in the neighborhood of Bab al-Tub in Mosul," said Rajab, who lives in the Iraqi Kurdistan region since the city was seized by ISIS in June last year. Rajab said the dead journalist was charged with spying for the Iraqi media and Iraqi military forces. He was tried and sentenced to death by an ISIS Islamic court on Sunday and the verdict was carried out the same day. Executions of journalists in Mosul by ISIS have risen sharply in recent months, the Iraqi Journalists Syndicate (IJS), a local media watchdog, said last month, reporting that 40 journalists have been executed in Mosul since ISIS seized the city in June 2014. According to IJS, in early July ISIS executed a female journalist named Suha Ahmed Radi, days after raiding her home in the east of Mosul and taking her captive. Her body was reportedly handed to her relatives after she was killed. IJS said that journalists have been executed on different charges by ISIS Islamic courts, including accusations of spying for the Iraqi Army. |

| #1 No lengthy appeals process? Must not be any lawyers among the ISIS kidnappers and murderers. It *would* be cost-effective.... |
