HSBC bank has sacked some of its employees over an "abhorrent" video in which they pretended to be Islamic State (ISIS) militants carrying out a beheading.

The video was posted online and shows a man dressed in an orange jumpsuit, while five other men in black stand around him '" one holding a fake knife, 'The Sun' reported. The employees are reportedly from the UK-headquartered bank's legal division and the incident took place on a team-building exercise in Birmingham. The bank said it did not tolerate "inappropriate behaviour".
