The leader of the Islamic State, formerly Isis, has released the first audiotape calling for jihad since the group renamed. The group is currently battling Iraqi forces across large parts of the country.
A clip apparently showing Iraqi soldiers captured by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) at a border post appeared online yesterday.
The clip purportedly shows an Iraqi jihadist questioning the bound men on the ground, before they were later killed.
Both clips have been shared widely on YouTube, which were also posted to Abu Hamza Mohammadi's Facebook account, who sources suggest is the jihadi pictured in the clips - but this cannot be independently verified.
According to one translation of the first video, provided by Storyful's Open Newsroom, militants order the prisoners to chant the slogan "Baqiya", which means "ISIS will remain in existence".
An unidentified armed man makes the prisoners nod in agreement, by grabbing their hair as he walks down the line.
The Foreign Secretary has been clear on the threat of Isis, but he has ruled out the prospect of any UK military involvement in the crisis.
Iraq’s foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, is a natural diplomat. Polite, immaculately dressed, and blessed with a great memory.
Isis has paraded military equipment in Mosul it captured from when the Iraqi army fled in what some see as a "nightmare scenario."
