Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) recently crucified a man suspected of aiding the coalition, based on images recently released by the terrorist group.

News organization Heavy released a photo report showing ISIS religious police called "hisbah" publicly crucifying a man accused of spying for the anti-ISIS coalition. In one of the photos, an ISIS member was pointing a gun at the victim's head.

According to the news outlet, the photo was released on the ISIS channels on Dec. 19. The photo is captioned: "The Killing of One of the Spies of the Crusader Coalition for His Apostasy."

Crucifixion is a known execution tactic employed the Islamic State. In June 2014, UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported to AFP (via RT News) that ISIS brutally killed and crucified eight men and left their bodies displayed at the town square in Aleppo, Syria for three days. They also crucified a ninth man and left him nailed up for eight hours, although he reportedly survived the ordeal.

Earlier this year, Christian Aid, a charity aimed at helping persecuted Christians worldwide, reported that 11 indigenous Christian workers near Aleppo were crucified and beheaded by ISIS for refusing to convert back to the Jihadist's twisted version of Islam.

With the group was the 12-year-old son of the team leader who set up nine churches across Syria. Witnesses say the terrorists cut off the boy's fingertips and beat him up, as they attempted to force the father to return to Islam. Both the ministry leader and his son eventually died via crucifixion after enduring heavy torture.

Eight others were beheaded and likewise crucified. Two of them were women, and villagers say they were publicly raped before being killed by the jihadists.
