Salim Sheikh says he watched in fear as Sunni militants executed an Iraqi in June who they accused of being a U.S. spy, hacking off his limbs with swords and cheering as he bled to death.
Pointing their guns at Sheikh, a Bangladeshi migrant worker captured along with 76 others in the northern Iraqi city of Tikrit, the men told him to clean up the blood. Sheikh, a Sunni, says his captors paid him $100 for the work, a sum he accepted at gunpoint. Days later, he was allowed to return home.
Now Sheikh wants to return to Iraq, even as Islamic State extremists battle for territory in a conflict that has brought U.S. airstrikes back to the country and displaced or killed tens of thousands of people. Sheikh says it’s still easier to find a job in Iraq, where per capita gross domestic product is about seven times higher than his home nation.

The word 'mossad' is not in that article. An Israeli citizen going to Syria is definitely asking for trouble. You are making an erroneous assumption -- if he was a Mossad agent he would have had a Syrian citizen cover -- like Eli Cohen, a Mossad spy in Syria in the 1960s. Mossad is not that stupid. Sotloff's escapade was idiocy apparently. Had ISIS known that he was a dual citizen American/Israeli why didn't ISIS use that for their propaganda purposes? Maybe, they don't want Israel to be bombing ISIS in Syria as a tag team with the US bombing ISIS in Iraq?
