LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The currently unknown Indonesian man reportedly caused a panic in the Islamic State base of Shaddadi in Hasaka province in northern Syria after it was learned he suffered from AIDs following medical tests on an Egyptian fighter, his 15-year-old sex slave and two Saudi terrorists who had sex with the slave.

Another reports suggests that a local Islamic State commander may also be infected with the disease.

An investigation by the terror group revealed that the Indonesian man had previously known he was infected, prior to venturing to Syria in September of 2015 and joining the Islamic State. Because of his prior knowledge he was charged with knowingly committing harm against the Islamic State by donating blood and was sentenced to death.

The medical investigation was stopped after word leaked that a senior commander had raped the Yazidi sex slave and may have been infected with AIDs.

Under cover reporters also managed to reveal that the Islamic State was upping its tests on donated blood and an AIDs treatment center is being created in the city of Almayadeen.

One local doctor reportedly said that since the Islamic State had taken control of the city, the order was sent down that "stressed on the need to check each drop of blood transferred to [Islamic State] members."

Although it is unknown when or how the Indonesian man was executed, an image released by the group shows him tied and bent down, with another fighter holding what may be a knife, sword or scythe against his neck, likely to behead him, a common method of execution for the terrorist group, while a crowd of onlookers watch.
