Islamic State members ‘shoot and behead 11 Christians in Nigeria

The Islamic State group has released a video claiming to show the killing of 11 Christians in Nigeria.

 

IS said it was part of its recently declared campaign to “avenge” the death of its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi during a US raid in Syria in October.

 

No details were given about the victims, who were all male, but IS says they were “captured in the past weeks” in Nigeria’s north-eastern Borno State.

 

The 56-second video was produced by the IS “news agency” Amaq.

 

It was released on 26 December and analysts say it was clearly timed to coincide with Christmas celebrations.

 

Nigeria’s government has not yet commented on the video, and nor have any of the aid agencies whose staff are being held by the “Islamic State West Africa Province” (Iswap).
