Syria Rebel Beheaded In Error By Jihadists
A video reportedly posted on the internet allegedly shows two fighters holding up a bearded man's head before a crowd in Aleppo.
Al Qaeda-linked jihadists in Syria have reportedly admitted beheading a rebel fighter by mistake.
They apparently believed he was an Iraqi Shiite fighting alongside President Bashar al Assad's forces.
A video posted on the internet on Wednesday allegedly showed two members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) holding up a bearded man's head before a crowd in Aleppo, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The UK-based watchdog's chief Rami Abdel Rahman said: "Some minutes after the video was posted, the man was identified as Mohammed Marroush, a fighter with rebel group Ahrar al Sham.
"ISIL later admitted the rebel had been killed by mistake and said it had arrested one of its men, a Tunisian, for decapitating him. He was referred to their Islamic court."
The second man, also a foreign fighter and from the Gulf, has not been detained.
The Islamist Ahrar al Sham is an ISIL ally.
