Baghdad: In a horrific incident, four married men were stoned to death after they were found to have indulged in ‘committing adultery’ in Iraq.
ISIS, one of the most dreaded terror groups in the world, is looking to create fear in the minds of people amid its depleting resources and foot soldiers.
The pictures show the blindfolded prisoners praying on the floor next to a big pile of rocks before the execution by the terror group. The execution was awarded under interpretation of Sharia law.
People including children can be seen gathered around in an area believed to be near the Tigris River in Iraq.
A summary of the photographs uploaded online shows militants hurling stones at the prisoners until their skulls finally end up with severe injuries.
Under Islamic Sharia law, married men and women can be stoned to death if found having sex by the Islamic State militant.

2 Subjects like chemistry and French are replaced by Islamic studies
