Islamic State terrorists have murdered three Syrian Christian hostages.
The Assyrian Human Rights Network said ISIS killed the Christians on the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
An ISIS video sent out on Wednesday appeared to confirm the executions.
It showed Islamic State militants shooting three men in orange jumpsuits in the back of their heads.
Three other captives then introduce themselves in the video, with one asking that "appropriate measures" be taken for their release.
ISIS uses hostage executions in an attempt to extort ransom payments for their other hostages, in order to fund their terror operations.
The Islamic terror group has been holding about 200 Syrian Christians captive since February.
