Islamic State video shows execution of ‘British spies’

A masked jihadi with a British accent mocks David Cameron in a purported new Islamic State video showing the execution of five men accused of being spies for the UK.

The footage released online shows the man waving a gun as he references Britain's "handful of planes" carrying out air attacks on Islamic State, also known as Isis, targets in Iraq and Syria.

The footage, which has yet to be independently verified, shows the five men “confessing” to filming and photographing sites in exchange for money within Raqqa, the capital of Islamic State’s self-declared caliphate.

Dressed in orange jumpsuits they are then made to kneel in the desert before being shot in the head by masked men.

Addressing the UK prime minister, the "British" jihadi says: "How strange it is that a leader of a small island threatens us with a handful of planes. One would have thought you would have learned the lessons of your pathetic master in Washington and his failed campaign against the Islamic State.

“But it seems like you, just like your predecessors Blair and Brown are just as arrogant and foolish. In fact David, you (waves handgun) are more of an imbecile. Only an imbecile would dare to wage war against a land where the law of Allah reigns supreme and where the people live under the justice and security of the sharia.

“Only an imbecile would dare to anger a people who love death the way you love your life.”
