MUNTINLUPA CITY, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - As the two terrorist groups continue to fight for control over the city, the captors decided to mimic the Game of Thrones inspired "walk of shame," used on the character Cersei Lannister.
Abu-Nabil Al-Anbari was said to be sensationally brought outdoors and forced to march through the streets as crowds taunted him through the whole ordeal. He was later brought to the gallows and was executed via hanging with a baying mob as witness.
Cersei Lannister, one of the lead characters of the "Game of Thrones" series, was forced to walk, stripped naked, in-front of the crowd to repent for her sins. Al-Anbari's "walk-of-shame" took place mid-June, according to reports and was meant to discourage followers of the unnamed Jihadist group from joining ISIS.
Footage of the walk was used as the group's retaliation and attempt at mocking the execution videos ISIS is well-known for.
According to other reports, the Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi sent his trusted associates to Libya with a plan of creating alliances with their rival Islamic militants. The former Al-Qaeda Operative, Al-Anbari was tasked to start the merging of ISIS with other local Jihadist groups in the northern African nation.
ISIS was first declared "Islamic emirates" in 2014, but was later blacklisted by the UN and coined a terrorist organization. The group is blamed for the death of US Ambassador Christopher Stephens in Benghazi in 2012, as well as the execution of 21 Egyptian Christians on a Libyan beach last February.
