- Militants savagely executed fellow jihadis for not joining the Islamic State
- 12 victims are understood to have fought for Al Qaeda and Jaish al-Islam
- They are forced to 'repent' for their crimes in individual filmed interviews
- Footage then shows them being led through the desert to execution site
- Victims are then handed over to their killers who brutally behead them all
Savage
jihadis fighting for the Islamic State in Syria have brutally beheaded 12
men accused of fighting for the terror group's Al Qaeda and Jaish al-Islam
rivals.
Filmed
close to Syrian capital and regime stronghold Damascus, the sickening footage
shows the terrified men being interviewed and paraded in front of the camera
before their bloody execution.
After
'confessing' to the crime of opposing ISIS and failing to declare allegiance to
the terror group's bloodthirsty leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the men are led
out into a desert clearing where they are forced to their knees and each man
executed by a different masked member of the Islamic State.

Marched: The men walk uncomfortably due

jumpsuits now synonymous with the fanatics depraved beheading films

The
video - titled Repent Before Being Overcome - was released by the lesser known
Damascus branch of the Islamic State but bears all the high-tech hallmarks of
the terror group's other slick and professionally edited murder videos.
Hollywood-style
graphics begin the clip and show the 12 victims hunched over as they are
dragged through a remote stretch of desert to the site where they will be
murdered.
The
men walk uncomfortably due to the way their arms are bound, with each forced to
wear to bright orange jumpsuits now synonymous with the fanatics depraved
beheading films.
Curiously
the men are led to the site by heavily armed men wearing full battle fatigues
but with their faces totally exposed. The victims are then handed over to
executioners, who cover their faces.
In
a slick bit of editing before the murders, the footage momentarily rewinds and
fades into a montage of Al Qaeda and Jaish al-Islam fighters battling
ISIS.
This
is likely to be a kind of reminder to the video's viewers that the three jihadi
groups remain fierce rivals despite having a common enemy in Syrian president
Bashar al-Assad.

BRITISH WOMAN HELD CAPTIVE BY AL QAEDA FOR SEVEN MONTHS IN SYRIA IS RELEASEDA British woman who was captured by Al Qaeda in Syria and held for seven months has been released after the militants found out about her long history of mental illness.The 31-year-old was freed after managing to send a secret Whatsapp message to London based lawyer Tasnime Akunjee, who then spent two weeks negotiating with jihadis based in Harem city.After presenting Nusra Front fighters with evidence that the woman - who is understood to have crossed into Syria from Turkey to teach English - has a history of mental illness, the militants released her on 'humanitarian' grounds without demanding a ransom.Mr Akunjee also represents the families of three teenage schoolgirls from Bethnal Green Academy in East London who fled the UK to join ISIS earlier this year and are now feared to be members of the terror group's fearsome all-female religious police force, known as the Al-Khansa Brigade.
Over
the next few segments, the 12 prisoners are interviewed about the so-called
crimes and are forced to confess that they wish they had joined ISIS before it
was too late.
The
overall theme of the video is along the same lines, and sends a clear signal to
other rebel groups fighting in Syria that they must declare allegiance to ISIS
'before being overcome'.
While
speaking directly into the camera, the men appear clean-shaven - a rarity for
jihadis and something likely to have been intended to humiliate the men before
they are killed.
Seconds
later the clip cuts back to the victims wearing orange jumpsuits being led to
their deaths.
After
being marched to the execution site, the armed jihadis take a step back and
another group - all of them masked and a wearing different style of combat gear
- step forward to carry out the beheadings.
One
fighter whose face is slightly most exposed than the others rants in Arabic and
issues another warning that other jihadi groups fighting for ISIS must accept
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as their leader or otherwise face certain death.

Torture: The 12 prisoners are interviewed
about the so-called crimes and are forced to confess that they wish they had
joined ISIS before it was too late

Over the following three minutes, the video follows the same sickening format as so many ISIS murder videos released by the terror group over the past year.
Once
the lead executioner finishes ranting at the camera, the depraved militants
begin to execute the victims, pushing their fingers into the men's eyes while
cutting their throats with small knives.
The
doomed men wince in agony before dying, at which point the camera cuts to the
altogether too familiar site of the victims' heads being placed on their backs
as a final act of humiliation.
The
murder of fighters loyal to Al Qaeda's Syrian branch - known as the Nusra Front
- comes despite the fact the jihadi groups have worked together on several
operations in recent months.
ISIS
was, of course, once part of Al Qaeda before leaving the international terror
network and self-declaring the establishment of a caliphate that it claims
governs Muslims worldwide.
While
publicly the groups still only ever speak of one another as enemies, they do
appear perfectly willing to work together if the results of a twin-prong attack
on a regime target or rival rebel group would be mutually beneficial.

ISIS beheaded an al-Qaeda leader in

beheaded a senior Nusra leader in Raqqa.Twitter/Isis

The
Islamic State militants have beheaded a senior leader of Syrian offshoot
of Al Qaeda - Jabhat al-Nusra - in Raqqa.
The
slain Jabhat al-Nusra leader was identified as Abde Al-Bara Al Iraqi. The
execution was carried out on 15 June in al Na'im.
UK-based
monitoring group Syrian Observatory For Human Rights, confirming the reports of
execution, said it has received a video showing the beheading of the Nusra
leader.
In
the video, the Nusra leader is shown kneeling on the ground, while an
executioner brandishing a sword says that he was being beheaded for opposing
and fighting the Isis.
A
crowd of onlookers, including young children, witnessed the beheading, SOHR
added.
Nusra
Front and Islamic State are both Sunni groups that once used to be close
allies, but over the year, as Isis grew in prominence inside Syria, both militant
groups turned into arch-rivals.
In
2014, Al Qaeda even released an online statement insisting it had no links with
the Isis militants. Ayman Mohammed Rabie al-Zawahiri, the current leader of
al-Qaeda, even rejected an attempt by the Isis to merge with the Nusra
Front, BBC reported.
