MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Terror group, ISIS executed two men accused of being "informants," shown in one of their propaganda videos.
The graphic video shows the interrogation and execution of media activists caught allegedly "handing out anti-Shariah leaflets" in Raqqa.
Bashar Abdul Atheem and Faisal Hasan Al Habib, both 21-years-old, are residents of Raqqa and were working with Syrian activist group, "Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently."
In the video, the two men in orange jumpsuits are questioned by a militant in a dimly lit room. The interrogator's face does not appear on camera, but asks the men their names, where they come from, as well as their religious beliefs.
The militant then uses a file of notes that seem to list the activist's crimes against ISIS.
During the interrogation, the accused are forced to explain how they used smart watches to photograph intelligence sites in Raqqa and Deir ezzor.
The video appears "carefully choreographed with close up camera shots of the victims," according to the Daily Mail. It also uses fancy audio graphics, imitating a polygraph test and a profile of the accused.
At the end of the video, the execution of the two activists is shown, as insects are heard buzzing in the background while the cameraman zooms in on the prisoners.
ISIS filmed the killing at night and tied both men around their waste to a tree trunk. Two militants are seen dressed in full camouflage fatigues and balaclavas. They raised their pistols, aiming at the prisoners.
After the shooting, shown in graphic scenes, it is replayed in slow motion. The footage stops after the executioners walk away.
However, ten seconds later, the clip shows a blurred face of an older man, also dressed in an orange jumpsuit. The older man gave his name in Arabic, Hamood al-Mossa, hinting that the man could be Arabian and would be the next person killed.
