JERUSALEM, Israel -- Islamic State jihadists reportedly killed 13 Iraqi teens by firing squad, according to an anti-ISIS group that documents the terrorists' activities. Their crime: watching a soccer match between Iraq and Jordan.
"The bodies remained lying in the open and their parents were unable to withdraw them for fear of murder by the terrorist organization," the Times of Israel quoted a statement on the group's website.
According to the report, the jihadists read the charges over a loudspeaker before executing the boys.
ISIS has reportedly killed thousands of people since taking over large areas in Iraq and Syria. It appears to enjoy publicity, posting video, and photographs of victims who were beheaded, stoned, crucified, and thrown from high rise buildings, executions justified in Sharia (Islamic) law.
