ISIS leader executed Game of Thrones-style

ISIS is not the only jihadi group relying on monstrous videos as propaganda tools in their battle for Middle Eastern territory.
The Daily Beast is reporting exclusively that a local ISIS leader in Libya was executed in a manner designed to humiliate him in front of the residents of a town called Derna, and it seemed to be ripped right out of a screenplay for ‘Game of Thrones,’ a highly popular cable TV series.

Here is a taste of The Daily Beast’s account:

“In a scene of medieval brutality, a jihadi group fighting to control a strategically important Libyan port captured ISIS’s local commander there, paraded him through the streets amid the taunts of onlookers, and then walked him to a gallows, where he was hanged.

“The public spectacle—the details of which have not been previously reported in the Western press—was meant to send a message to local residents: Side with ISIS, and this is your fate. But it also vividly conveyed that, despite ISIS’s territorial gains in Syria and Iraq, the self-proclaimed caliphate does not exercise total control of Libya.

“… The ISIS commander was marched through the street ‘Cersei Lannister-style,’ one source said, an allusion to the queen mother in Game of Thrones, who, in the series’ recent season finale, is forced to walk naked through the streets to atone for her sins.”
