| ISIL Crucifies One of its Own in Syria for Corruption |
| 2014-06-28 |
| [AnNahar] The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... (ISIL) on Friday executed and crucified one of its own men for corruption in Syria, a watchdog and jihadist sites said. Photographs posted on websites showed the body and bloodied head of a bearded man with a placard reading: "Guilty: Abu Adnan al-Anadali. Sentence: execution and three days of crucifixion. Motive: extorting money at checkpoints by accusing drivers of apostasy." The text is signed by "The prince of believers", thought to refer to ISIL chief Abu Baqr al-Baghdadi. Before being crucified, the man was killed by three bullets to the head at Bab in the north of Aleppo province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Mainstream Syrian rebels and the al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front accuse the jihadists of ISIL of responsibility for a string of atrocities. |

| #7 One article said that it was alleged that he extorted money at checkpoints by accusing of apostasy. I thought "alleged" is kind of a day late and dollar short since he was executed and crucified. |

| #6 That's what I was thinking, Frank. Either that, or they got it backwards. |

| #4 Could be g(r)om. At least ISIS has quality control and some degree of 'standards of conduct' enforcement. Thankfully, their investigation into al-Anadali's activities wasn't thwarted by a crooked, do nothing, attorney general. Something to be said for honor amongst thieves, as opposed to total tribal anarchy. |

| #3 Maybe his crime is that he was letting too many to buy him off---there are probably quotas. |

| #2 ....Motive: extorting money at checkpoints by accusing drivers of apostasy." Obviously al-Anadali was a small-time piker. Had a assembled the proper Chicago style, community organizing, race hustle machine he might have survived. |
