IS executes three Assyrian hostages
2015-10-09
[ARA] The myrmidon group of 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) executed three Assyrian captives who were kidnapped earlier during attacks on Christian villages near Tel Temir town in Hasakah province, in northeastern Syria, according to a footage published by the group on Wednesday.

The Assyrian Network for Human Rights reported that the three victims, who were dressed in orange during the execution, were identified as Dr. Abdul Massih Noya and Ashour Abraham from the village of Tel Jaseera, and Bassam Michael from the village of Tel Shamiram.

ISIS gunnies shot the three Assyrian abductees in the head.

The Assyrian network condemned the execution of the "innocent Assyrians" by ISIS myrmidons.

"The international community should bear its responsibility towards the Syrian crisis. This country is suffering from unbearable violence and terrorism," it said.

"This terrorist crime is a stigma on the forehead of the international community, which has failed so far to eliminate terrorism and tyranny in this war-torn country."
Rudaw adds:
The AHRN said those purportedly executed were among 187 Assyrians held as hostages by Islamic State.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said ISIS has kidnapped dozens of Christians, including 45 women, 19 children and 11 families from the city of Al-Qaryatain in Homs province. The groups said "hundreds of others" were still missing.
