Zafaran roundabout in the Libyan city of Sirte used to be one of the best spots for local businesses to advertise.
Today, however, the message that they carry is not one that passing motorists care to linger over.
With Colonel Gaddafi's home city now firmly in the grip of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) militants, the billboards' rusting black gantries are now used for crucifixions of anyone accused of "spying" against the regime.
The corpses of murdered suspects are strung up as a graphic warning to others, with the victims' families then prevented from retrieving their bodies for burial.
Contrary to popular perception, crucifixion as practiced by Isil does not mean nailing hands and feet into a cross and leaving the victim to die. Instead, the victim is usually killed beforehand, and then left for several days afterwards, rather like the gibbets that were used in medieval Britain.
Mr Aburgeeba spent two days strung up on the gantry, his hands and feet hung up by plastic cords. In mimicry of inmates of Guantanamo Bay, he was clad in an orange jumpsuit, while a message was taped to his body with the words "spy".
Judging from pictures of the incident, which Osama forwarded to the Telegraph via mobile phone, but which are too graphic to publish - his face was apparently disfigured from torture.

Did any of this come up last night at the debate or is Chuck Todd too delicate a creature?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared a laugh with a television news reporter moments after hearing deposed Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had been killed."We came, we saw, he died," she joked when told of news reports of Qaddafi's death by an aide in between formal interviews.

I didn’t watch, but I’m going to go with ... none of this came up.
ValJar call up the Telegraph and tell them to start using the leftists’ god’s term for the islamic state?
Also, I’ve been seeing some British publications start putting “so-called” in front of “islamic state”.
Funny thing, today’s press.
They immediately compared today’s crucifixions by Muslims in today’s world with what Britain did in its Middle Ages. Odd that, the Muslims are still living in their middle ages, aren’t they.
The rest of the world civilized itself. Until socialist liberalism took over 1917-1972.
