November 01, 2015 12:17

A video purportedly from ISIS surfaced online Friday and shows the terrorists beheading four Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in retaliation for the daring raid by US-led coalition forces last week in northern Iraq.

At the end of the 15-minute video, a masked English-speaking man delivers a warning to US President Barack Obama before he executes one of the prisoners, who is wearing an orange jumpsuit.

The three other prisoners are also seen being beheaded at the end of the video and Arabic text appears onscreen. It translates as "Peshmerga soldiers that Americans came down to rescue."

Earlier in the video, ISIS also claims to show the aftermath of the raid during which 70 hostages were rescued by Kurdish, US and Iraqi forces from an ISIS prison in Hawija, in the northern Iraq province of Kirkuk.
