Takfiri militants operating in Syria’s northwestern city of Aleppo beheaded a fellow wounded militant after mistaking him for a Syrian army soldier

Takfiri militants operating in Syria’s northwestern city of Aleppo beheaded a fellow wounded militant after mistaking him for a Syrian army soldier.

 

A video surfaced on the Internet earlier this week showing extremist militants displaying the man’s severed head in front of a small crowd. The man had been wounded outside Aleppo before being beheaded.

 

The gruesome act was perpetrated by the militant members of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), who thought that they had cut off the head of a Shia Muslim.

 

Subsequently, however, a spokesman for the al-Qaeda affiliated group said that the victim used to fight alongside other Takfiri militants. The ISIL issued a statement on Thursday and asked for “forgiveness” for chopping off and putting on display the head of a comrade in Aleppo.

 

This is not the first time that Takfiri agents are killed by fellow militants as many of them have lost their lives in infighting over different issues.
