The Islamic State group executed five men it described as spies in
Iraq's Anbar province, west of the capital, according to photos posted
online.
The photos show the barefoot men dressed in orange
jumpsuits kneeling in a street as a crowd of people, many of them
apparently militants, look on.
Black-clad men wearing balaclavas
are then pictured shooting them with pistols.
The
photos were said to have been taken in Anbar, where security forces are
battling to regain ground from the militants, especially around
provincial capital Ramadi, which the militants seized in May.
But no precise location was given, and the authenticity of the images could not be independently confirmed.
ISIS
has carried out many gruesome executions in Iraq and neighbouring
Syria, where it controls significant territory, and has also claimed
attacks elsewhere, including the bombing of an airliner in Egypt and a
rampage by militants in Paris.
The jihadist group often documents
the killings, which have included burnings, beheadings and drownings, in
photos and videos released by its propaganda arm in a bid to inspire
fear and draw new recruits.
