Video posted on YouTube
Islamic State fighters have executed 250 Syrian soldiers captured when the group seized an air base in the province of Raqqa at the weekend, according to a video posted on YouTube on Thursday and confirmed as genuine by an Islamic State fighter.
The video showed the bodies of dozens of men lying face down wearing nothing but their underwear. Their bodies were stretched out in a long line that appeared to be dozens of metres long.

Murdering prisoners of war. Sheer political genius.
These ISIL dicks are guaranteeing their own destruction.
and I don't mean destruction from the US. ISIL is so vile (hey, there's a song in there somewhere) they even repulse their blood thirsty islamic neighbors.
They murdered a couple hundred prisoners of war? Oh...well at least they didn't waterboard anyone.
But, but, religion of peace! Well, I'm sure the vast majority of moderate Muslims have spoken out against this.
