LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The "spies" are believed to be Syrian nationals and were dressed in the obligatory orange jumpsuits prior to their murders.
Human rights sources within Raqqa told Daily Mail the men were first shot then crucified.
Unfortunately for the citizens of Raqqa, Syria, ISIS' habit of murdering and displaying bodies is not a new one.News of ISIS' cruelty crops up each day, with only the possibility of complete annihilation by continued air strikes, raids and ground attacks to comfort the group's victims.
Syrian Radio & TV reported the Syrian army has been making progress in their fight against the terrorist nation.In an open letter to te Dier Exxor province, it was reported the Syrian air force was responsible for destroying ISIS vehicles, some of which were equipped with machine guns, and two positions ISIS members used outside al-Murieya and al-Jaffra.
The raids also killed "a number of [ISIS'] member[s]. Meanwhile, reports of infiltrating ISIS dens and gatherings east of Homs province continue to stream in.
There was no indication of how many ISIS members were killed in the attacks.
