Islamic State has issued a video showing the beheading of what it described as a Russian intelligence officer captured in Syria, the US-based SITE monitoring website reported on Tuesday.
The Russian Defence Ministry and the FSB security service were not immediately available for comment.
The 12-minute Russian-language video, released on the day Russia celebrates the anniversary of the 1945 victory over Nazi Germany with military parades, showed the man dressed in a black jump suit kneeling in a desert scene and urging other Russian agents to surrender.
“This idiot believed the promises of his state not to abandon him if he was captured,” a narrator says in the recording, before a bearded man beheaded him with a knife.
The authenticity of the recording and the identity of the man could not immediately be verified, nor was it clear when the killing occurred.
Russian forces are backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in his war with rebels and militants seeking to oust him. The video showed scenes of what it described as the aftermath of Russian bombing raids in Syria.
The Russian defence ministry says about 30 Russian servicemen have been killed since the start of the Kremlin’s operation there in September 2015.
Unfortunately some of Turkey's Militia's are almost as evil.
Let's see how Vlad handles this insult. Will he unleash the dogs on ISIS remnants? And let the US and SDF end it in Raqqa.
X-KGB officers like Putin are know for long memories and for extreme retribution for such acts.
Syria Ping
ISIS beheads Russian Officer
It’s always been about more than Jews for these Islamic monsters. The world is in its darkest period as this evil is spreading with the lunatic leftists letting them in with open arms.
Russia and China will not benefit from the West being taken over by these demons.
Poor man. I sincerely hope Vlad makes them pay and pay dearly for this man’s blood.................
This is clearly not possible. Too many morons on FR demand that Russia and ISIS are pals!
To win a war, you must be more ruthless than your enemy................
That was a brave soldier
At least his government has the means to hunt down and deliver extreme retribution
I kinda hope we hear rumors about the outcome ...
Yep...and a 30kt tactical nuke over an ISIS stronghold would be a GREAT response.
They are indeed a dark evil presence.
It will up to US to end it. But our real allies in the fight to end ISIS are still the Syrian Kurds. They have done a great job and our Special Ops have built a relationship that works.
Erdogan the Islamist is one with ISIS. He has just not yet come out of the closet. It is near. He is now Dictator. He will soon attempt Genocide. Early evidence of that is already clear.
Once KGB, Always KGB?
If so, it will be paid for in full.
Putin was an accountant. I bet he knows how to weigh the damage on this one. It may even be personal.
At the end of the video did “I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message”
No, better armed and with steel resolve. We must never resort to their terror acts.
We must destroy the enemy.
NO, Russia and ISIS are not pals.
But Obama and ISIS were. Along with a number of our POLs.
We must never forget that.
I hope we do a lot of that in Raqqa. Not so much for Russia but to end this Evil. Erase it totally from the world.
We don’t need to ‘resort to their terror acts.’
Simply use a few of the small tactical nukes we have had for ages. This is what they were designed for................
He will never admit it. But yes he spawned this great evil. He and Hillary and some well know US POLs.
OH sheeet! Vlad will find the relatives of those responsible and their meat/remains will hang in the sausage markets of Damascus!!!
No sissy boy response from Vladimir.
Historically I’ve found the use of the term ‘barbarian’ somewhat inappropriately used..... but for this group it is very fitting.
