ISIS crucifies boy for photographing Syrian HQ - World News TVNZ

Islamic State militants have publicly crucified and murdered a teenager they accused of taking photographs of their headquarters in Syria.

The body of Abdullah Bushi, 17, was found in the eastern countryside of the Syrian capital, Aleppo.

ISIS released a disturbing image of Abdullah nailed to a crucifix with a hand-written sign hung around his neck detailing why he was killed.

"He was filming the headquarters which belong to the Islamic State in return for 500 Turkish Liras," read the sign.

Just when you thought they couldn't get any worse...

Just so everyone knows, this guy was dead before he was "strapped" to the cross. He wasn't nailed to it.

I'm certainly not trying to distract attention from what they've done: murder someone for simply taking pictures of a brutal regime's H.Q. I'm just relaying what I suspect is the case after noticing that he was bound to the cross with rope, not nails driven through his wrists and ankles.

I know. I was just being a jerkoff. Calm down, Swagger.

Link?

The link in the OP explicitly states that he was "nailed to a crucifix".

Thanks for clearing that up...
That makes it so much better.

The link in the OP explicitly states that he was "nailed to a crucifix".

That explicit statement doesn't match the image they've posted. Firstly, you can't see his arms, which would need to be outstretched and nailed to a horizontal crossbeam to support the body. His arms aren't visible, which means they've either been removed, are tied behind his back or pinned to his sides. Secondly, his legs are too far apart for his ankles to have been nailed against the vertical support post.

Well said.

But until they retract what they printed, I'm gonna go with the official TVNZ claim.

(Not that I always believe the media, but just sayin'.)
