ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The Islamic State (ISIS) group has released a new video, allegedly showing the murder of five people accused of spying for Britain and including a message for Prime Minister David Cameron.
A masked ISIS militant suspected of being a British citizen and a young boy speaking in English appear in the 11-minute footage, which ends with five masked gunmen shooting the five accused in the head.
A masked militant describes Cameron as a "slave of the White House," and "mule of the Jews."
"How strange it is that we find ourselves today hearing an insignificant leader like you challenge the might of the Islamic State," the militant says in British-accented English.
"How strange it is that a leader of a small island threatens us with a handful of planes,” he mocks, referring to British air raids on ISIS positions in Iraq and Syria.
One day Britain will be invaded, "with everyone forced to live under strict Sharia law," he warns.
"Those of you (Britons) who wish to continue fighting under the banner of Cameron on the minimum wage, we say to you to ask yourself, do you really think your government will care about you when you come into our hands?" he asks.
“Or will they abandon you as they have abandoned these spies and those who came before them, because you will lose this war as you lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
A young boy in military-style fatigues then warns: “We are going to go kill the kafir (non-believers) over there."
ISIS has released similar videos in the past.
It posted a clip showing the beheading of British aid worker David Haines in early September 2014. His murderer, known as Jihadi John and later identified as 27-year-old Mohamed Emwazi from London, was killed in a US drone strike last November.
