ISIL Burns Two Turkish Soldiers Alive, Releases Gruesome Video

ISIL Takfiri terrorists have released a video which purportedly shows two captured Turkish soldiers being burned alive in Aleppo province, Syria.

The terrorists said it was a revenge for Ankara’s involvement in a “war against Muslims”.

The video titled “The Cross Shield,” which was apparently released by ISIL, shows two men alleged to be Turkish servicemen being burned alive somewhere in the countryside.

The servicemen are shown chained in cages. Terrorists then lead them on all fours to their execution site, while the executioner refers to them as “dogs”. The two men are heard presenting themselves off camera as members of Turkish Gendarmerie Intelligence Organization. However, on camera, the men simply urge Turks to stop “fighting Muslims.”

The executioner accuses the Turkish government and President Erdogan of “burning Muslims” before setting the prisoners on fire until they burn to death.

The video appears to have been an impressively staged production, shot from several angles in high-definition and high-speed cameras, and sound tracked with ‘religious’ songs. The authenticity of the video could not be independently verified.

The gruesome footage is reminiscent of the burning of captured Jordanian pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh released in 2015. Jordan authorities tried to negotiate the exchange of the pilot for two convicted terrorists, but ISIL brutally executed the pilot instead, which led to public outrage and ultimately to the execution of the terrorists in question.
