Islamic State has released a new 7 minute 53 second video with the word “Ninawa” on the screen, which appears to be from the IS media, Nineveh province, Iraq. An account linked to IS. The video begins with a taste of things to come showing a group of men in orange Guantanamo style jumpsuits kneeling on the ground in the rubble of a building. The captives have their faces covered by a black cloth. The viewer then observes 4 men in black with and one in a camouflague outfit pointing guns towards those on the ground. There is a close up shot of a captive having a blindfold lifted and a shot of a man holding a weapon to his head. The footage is accompanied by a familiar nasheed. Footage then changes to show each man in turn to the camera.
The man in military fatigues appears to be the ringleader. A French-speaking man delivers his message in French to the west. He appears light skinned and blond curls are visible from under a beige mask. There are also shots of the remains of a body and a child horribly injured apparently in an air strike. The captives are later shot, their eyes uncovered and whilst facing each other in a circle.
A Ibrahim an account which has posted the video gives a rundown in English featuring short clips as follows,
