ANOTHER BEHEADING VIDEO has been released by Islamic State militants in Iraq.
The six minute video, entitled ‘A Message in Blood’, reportedly shows a group of Kurdish men in orange jumpsuits. One of them is then seen in front of a mosque with three IS militants behind him with guns and he is beheaded.
The militants have warned that others will be killed if Kurdish leaders continue to support the US, Sky News reports.
Earlier, other IS videos appeared to show the mass killing of Syrian soldiers who were taken prisoner when their base was overrun. The jihadists posted grisly video footage on the Internet of scores of bodies heaped in the desert they boasted were those of Syrian soldiers they captured and killed following the seizure of Tabqa air base.
The footage posted by IS showed a close-up of some 20 bodies, but then panned out to show scores more.
Other shots showed men barefoot and dressed only in their underwear walking in line with their hands on their head in surrender, escorted by jihadist gunmen.
In a press conference, US President Barack Obama admitted he still does not have a strategy to fight Islamic State jihadists in Syria.
The chaotic situation on the ground was underlined by the seizing of 43 UN peacekeepers on the Golan Heights by rival Islamist rebels, led by Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front.
They were part of a mission that has monitored an armistice between Syrian and Israeli troops on the strategic plateau for decades. Though Irish troops are stationed in this region as peacekeepers, none of those taken hostage are part of the Irish contingent.
Islamic State militants were also responsible for the killing of US journalist James Foley. He had been held by them for two years before being beheaded ten days ago.

Energy drinks are muck anyway but when you see 6 & 7 year olds bringing lucozade isotonic to school because they are not allowed fizzy drinks you hav3 to wonder about the parent’s ability to parent. A strong direct and hard hitting ad campain is required.
It’s not rocket science ! Some parents need a good dose of cop on these days !
Don’t think isotonic drinks are what’s being talked about here, they’re not loaded with caffiene.
Lucozade is recommended by my daughters diabetic team to treat her low blood glucose. I hope they account for those children who need it for treatment.
Aspartame is a lab built sugar substitute that wasn’t tested correctly and release prematurely by the FDA in the states.
Have (WHO) done an independent research into aspartame, have a suspicion that they are in the pocket of big business anyway.
Google candarell, in relation to its licence granting by the FDA, it set standards that are flawed and still used today.
Aspartame has been deemed safe for human consumption by over 100 regulatory agencies in their respective countries, including the US Food and Drug Administration, UK Food Standards Agency, the European Food Safety Authority and Health Canada. It is safe but has been subject of internet hoaxes. I know I’m going to get a lot of abuse for referencing Wikipedia, but if you check the 85 references at the bottom of the page, you’ll see it’s based on science not fiction, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame
Red bull doesn’t literally give you wings.
Thanks for letting me know. I was just on my way to sue them
Good for lithuania !
All CSDs are muck with no nutritional value. But remember everything in moderation.
More laws! Justifies these idiots salaries.
I think they should put an age limit on selling them was in Glasgow last year and they have an age limit on selling Big Mac you have to be over 16 why not do something like that here
Just drink water ffs!
Blame whatever gets the gov of the hook with their incessant hardship policies on the people of the country
So it’s not the excessive alcohol or drugs which leads to the health problems or suicides! It’s the energy drinks!
Wow, our capacity to ignore the obvious is just startling.
I get your point,but when someone commits suicide it’s not quite clear cut to the reasons why,every avenue should be explored.
Surely making someone pre-disposed to suicide a criminal would make it worse?
And drugs and alcohol making people suicidal is questionable, these people tend to have underlying issues.
That’s all very well but medium rare striploin with sautéed onion, pepper sauce and chunky chips. Mmmmmm.
Sorry. Posted in wrong story. I’m an idiot.
If safefood want to do something, they should demand that ALL ingredients are listed on products and not hidden by converting to energy values.
No don’t ban them. Why make laws to cover up bad parenting.
have your say
