A Maldivian man belonging to the Islamic State group has been beheaded by a rival terrorist organisation in Syria, local media reported Tuesday.
VFP said the man, who it identified as Ahmed Zubair, was executed two weeks ago by the Tahrir-al Sham group in Idlib. It cited a confidential source.
Social media accounts linked with the group were circulating photos of a beheaded man and VFP said it had obtained some of these images.
He had been previously captured by Tahrir-al Sham and warned about fighting with the IS group, but continued despite the threats, the website reported.
