French-speaking jihadist executes 'apostates' in IS video

January 31, 2016 13:14

The Islamic State group has released a video purporting to show a French-speaking jihadist threatening attacks against the West and executing so-called apostates and spies in Iraq.

The footage, posted on jihadist websites yesterday, is said to have been produced by the IS media office in Iraq's Nineveh province, and shows young men testifying to have acted against the jihadists before being shot dead execution style.

The French-speaker wears a beige mask and military fatigues and carries a handgun. Curls of blond hair can be seen below his mask.

The video appears to have been made after the November 13 Paris attacks that killed 130 people and were claimed by IS.
