ISIS Executes 15 of Its Own Near Raqqa, Syria for ‘Spying’ on Leader

ISIS has killed 15 of its members in a mass execution for allegedly “spying,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on April 3.

The killings came after 35 members were arrested on April 2 in Raqqa, Syria, according to Britain-based SOHR, which claims it monitors the five-year-old Syrian conflict through a network of sources on the ground.

The members were allegedly killed in connection with the assassination of senior ISIS figure Abu Hija al-Tunisi, who was killed on March 31 in an airstrike, the Observatory said.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the massacre is the largest that a terror group has carried out on its own members, reported Mirror.
