A Syrian Catholic priest has been beheaded by jihadist fighters in Syria, it has been claimed.

The death of Franciscan Father Francois Murad has been confirmed by the official Vatican news agency.

The gruesome killing has raised further concerns about the West arming rebels in the fight against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Grainy footage purported to show the 49-year-old’s death has been posted on the internet.

Father Francois, was killed on 23 June in Gassanieh, in northern Syria.

He had been staying in the convent of the Custody of the Holy Land.

This had received almost no coverage in main media outlets appart from the Daily Mail. It should be front page news and on our TV as apparently all our political leaders are desperate to give arms to these terrorists.

Obama is going to come down hard on the youtube videographers of this alleged video if there are riots from Islmaists. Allegedly.
