IS Video Shows Execution of Spies by Drowning, Beheading with Explosive Cord, and Immolating tinyurl.com/pcy4d6y —

SITE Intel Group (@siteintelgroup) June 23, 2015

The video, translated by SITE Intelligence Group, shows captives giving confessional statements on screen before their deaths.

In the first of three executions in the seven-minute video, four captives are shuffled into a sedan parked in a desert. An ISIL fighter shoots a rocket-propelled grenade at the car and the camera zooms in on the burning men, whose screams are audible in the video.

In the following scene, five men are locked in a cage and lowered into a pool.

In what has become ISIL’s signature, the video is well-produced — even including underwater footage of the men panicking.
