Footage has emerged of an ISIS prisoner being forced to dig his own grave prior to being beheaded.

The man in an orange jumpsuit is seen in the video using a pick axe and shovel to dig a hole in the desert.


The clip, which appears to have been heavily choreographed, is believed to have been filmed in Syria.

After digging his own grave completely bare foot, the prisoner is made to kneel in front of it and ‘admit’ his wrongdoings to the camera.

The man, who gives his name as Ziad Abdel’al Abu Tarek, tells viewers in Arabic that he is from Al-Qaryatayn, in central Syria, and says he works as a spy.



‘I killed Abu Hassan and the Islamic State came and captured me,’ he says.

The original video – not the video included in this article – also shows the prisoner being beheaded as well as the bloody aftermath.
