One of the three lasts IS murders in Sirte

Benghazi, 4 February 2016:

There are unconfirmed reports that a fourth IS commander has been killed by a sniper . . .[restrict]in Sirte.

Abu Aisha Al-Khazdrawi, who is said to be a Libyan, was supposedly shot dead today from a considerable distance.  The claim was made by the Sirte Revolutionary Brigade. No other details were given.

The sniper is becoming a social media celebrity but there is no independent confirmation of the killings. IS has not mentioned any deaths of senior commanders, which may be unsurprising.

What has been confirmed is a continuing campaign of executions and punishments by the terrorists. On Wednesday an IS web site posted pictures of three murders. Two men were shot on open ground on the edge of the town and photographed before and after they were killed. The third was crucified in another of the terrorists’  grim tableau.

The shock value of this last image was increased because the executioner was an IS fighter in sitting in a wheelchair, who held the rope with which the victim’s body would later be hoisted onto the frame of the former advertising hoarding in the middle of a roundabout in the west of the town.

There has been much speculation about the wheelchair-bound terrorist. He appeared to show no wounds nor disability. But there has been general agreement that by himself, he would not have been able to haul up the  murdered man.

Meanwhile IS has published pictures of “re-education” sessions being held for Sirte citizens in the Ouagadougou Centre in the town. [/restrict]
