A chilling video has emerged showing the merciless execution of 14 men in Syria by a brutal group that are too extreme even for Al Qaeda.

It shows the blindfolded men - some of whom appear to be just teenagers - kneeling in front of a pit at night, illuminated by torchlight.

A man, horrifyingly calm, shoots the first man in the back of the head with a pistol. It is here that the video freezes, the scenes too horrible to show.

More shots follow in quick, methodical succession. By the end, there are 14 blood-spattered corpses in and around the mass grave.

It was obtained by CNN from Syrian activists attempting to show the world the atrocities committed by Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, known as ISIS, a powerful group opposing the rule of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad that has recently battled other opposition groups.

Their methods, including savage mass executions like this, have even drawn condemnation from Al Qaeda commanders, who have demanded the group leave the war-torn nation.

ISIS fighters are reportedly mostly non-Syrian extremist Muslims who have inserted themselves into the civil war to spread their hardline Islamic beliefs.

Earlier this month the mainstream Syrian Opposition Coalition released a report stating that the regime of Bashar al-Assad is working hand in hand with ISIS, reportedly the largest terrorist group in Syria.

A point by point report issued by the National Coalition of Syrian Revolution and Opposition Forces documents an active partnership between Assad and the group.

The opposition says it has numerous firsthand accounts from the battlefields confirming that the regime’s forces and the Islamist extremist group act together in attacking Free Syrian Army forces and are intimately intertwined.
