ISIS has executed eight Dutch followers after accusing them of trying to desert.
“Daesh [ISIS] executed eight Dutch fighters on Friday in Maadan, Raqqa province, after accusing them of attempting desertion and mutiny,” said Abu Mohammad, a member of the citizen journalist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently (RBSS), via Twitter on Monday. Since April 2014, RBSS has been documenting ISIS abuses in Raqqa, the Islamist group’s capital in northern Syria. RBBS said that over the last month, tensions between seventy-five Dutch jihadists — some of them of Moroccan origin – and ISIS intelligence operatives from Iraq had reached a new levels.
Fox News reports that according to RBSS, three other Dutch jihadists were arrested in Iraq by Iraqi ISIS militants who accused them of trying to flee. RBSS says that one of the detainees was beaten to death during the interrogation.
Growing unrest among ISIS Dutch fighters has led ISIS leaders in Raqqa to send an intermediary to solve the dispute between the organization’s intelligence operatives and the Dutch cell’s members – but the Dutch jihadists killed the intermediary.
The ISIS leadership in Iraq then ordered the arrest of all Dutch fighters and kept them in prison in Syria before killing eight of them, RBSS said.
The Dutch secret services say that about 200 people from the Netherlands, including fifty women, have joined ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
