         Britain Examining IS Claim It Executed Purported British Spies

   by VOA News

   The British Foreign Office says it is examining a video circulated
   Sunday purporting to show an Islamic State execution of five men it
   said were spying for Britain in Syria.

   The 10-minute film depicted the men allegedly confessing to espionage,
   filming and photographing the location of militants in exchange for
   money in Raqqa, the northern Syrian capital of Islamic State's
   self-declared caliphate. The men wore orange jumpsuits, kneeling before
   five masked fighters in military fatigues who brandished pistols.

   ''Message to Cameron
   One of the gunmen said the execution was "a message to David Cameron,"
   the British prime minister, who has ramped up attacks on Islamic State
   insurgents in Iraq and Syria.

   "How strange it is that we find ourselves today hearing an
   insignificant leader like you challenge the might of the Islamic
   State," the gunman said. He vowed that Islamic State would "one day
   invade your land, where we will rule by the sharia."

   The purported spies were then shot in the head.
