Boko
Haram has set a terrifying new precedent by releasing its first gruesome video
of a beheading since it pledged allegiance to ISIS.
The video
adopts many of the same style-points as the hundreds of barbaric videos
released by ISIS over the last year.
The ten minute-long propaganda video begins with what appears to be an
intense firefight against Nigerian soldiers.
Boko Haram fighters exchange machine gun fire with the troops and
launch heavy mortar grenades on their locations.
It shows them standing proudly next to the corpses of scorched
Nigerian troops - and showing off their security badges to the camera.
The video ends with the senseless murder of a captured African Union
soldier. With a look of true horror on his face, the man kneels in front of
three masked Boko Haram fanatics - two of whom point AK47s at his head.
The video then cuts to reveal his decapitated body lying motionless on
the floor.
Islamic State accepted a pledge of allegiance from Boko Haram, who
were responsible for the deaths of over 10,000 in Nigeria in 2014, in March
this year.
The audio message entitled 'kill and be killed' - released through the
militants' vast social media channels - was read by an ISIS spokesperson who
also threatened further violence against the Christian and Jewish
communities.
