Shocking new images
have emerged showing Islamic State militants stoning a blindfolded and bound
man and woman to death in Iraq. The couple were sentenced to death for having
sex before marriage.
Pools of blood could be seen in the
square where the blindfolded couple were murdered.
A crowd of men, women
and children watched as the couple were stoned to death in the town square.
A large crowd,
including children and women, gather at the scene in the town square in Mosul
in Nineveh province, to watch as the couple are murdered.
The bearded IS
executioner-in-chief Abu Ansar al-Ansari pronounces the order of stoning for "fornication."
A large pile of
stones are gathered in the middle of the road. The ISIS militants then begin
throwing them at the blindfolded couple, whose hands are bound, rendering them
unable to defend themselves and helpless.
Pools of blood appear
in the road, before the man and woman finally die of their injuries.
IS fighters routinely
carry out such horrific executions in accordance with their radical
interpretation of Sharia law.
