Boko Haram borrows IS' social media strategy, releases beheading video online
Highlights
Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, responsible for several horrific attacks in West Africa, has reportedly posted a video purporting to show the beheading of two men who it said were suspected spies.
Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, responsible for several horrific attacks in West Africa, has reportedly posted a video purporting to show the beheading of two men who it said were suspected spies.
The six-minute-long video shows two men facing the camera with their arms tied to their backs and another man holding a knife above them, reported the CNN.
As the knife-wielding reaches towards the throat of one of the kneeling men, the clip switches scenes to show the bloody severed heads of the two men placed on their headless bodies.
The SITE Intelligence group, which monitors extremist activities, released a transcript from the video which showed one of the kneeling men identifying himself as a farmer from the Nigerian town of Baga. He said he was told by a cop that if he provided information about "the residents who live in here," he would be rich and would never go back to be a farmer again.
The statement is then followed by beheadings.
SITE said that the video, which included Arabic, English and French subtitles, was released via Twitter and borrowed "certain elements from productions" of Islamic State ( IS) beheading videos.
It was posted by the media division of Boko Haram. (ANI)
