ISIL has executed eight Dutch members of the Takfiri terrorist group in Syria on charges of trying to flee the battlefield, a local source says.
"ISIL executed eight Dutch fighters on Friday in Maadan, Raqqah Province, after accusing them of attempting desertion and mutiny," Abu Mohammad, a member of the citizen journalist group “Raqqah is Being Slaughtered Silently” (RBSS), said via Twitter on Monday.
Tension has been simmering in the province over the past month between a group of 75 Dutch militants of ISIL and the terror group’s intelligence operatives from Iraq, the RBSS said.
The Iraqi members of ISIL arrested three other Dutch militants, accusing them of wanting to escape, the RBSS noted, adding that one of the detainees was beaten to death during the questioning.
According to the citizen journalist group, ISIL leaders in Iraq ordered the arrest of all the members of the Dutch group, and jailed them in Tabaqa and Maadan in Syria.
Some 200 people from the Netherlands, including 50 women, have joined ISIL terrorists in Syria and Iraq, Dutch secret services say.
