Iraq Crisis: Are Isis Execution Photos Fake?

Gruesome pictures posted on Twitter by militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) may not be authentic, according to human rights activists.

Isis, which has captured several key cities across Iraq in a brutal insurgency which began last week, posted several pictures purportedly portraying the abduction and killing of government soldiers.

The pictures appear to show masked Isis fighters loading captives into flatbed trucks before taking them to a shallow ditch, forcing them to lay face-down with their hands tied behind their backs. The final images show the bodies of the captives soaked in blood after being shot.

Isis captioned the photos with the claim that "hundreds have been liquidated", and boasted on a militant website that the horrific images provide evidence that 1,700 Iraqi government soldiers have been killed by Sunni fighters. Meanwhile Iraq's chief military spokesman, Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, confirmed the photos' authenticity.

Moussawi also told AP that an analysis of the images by military experts showed that about 170 soldiers were executed by militants after their capture.

However Erin Evers, Human Rights Watch researcher in Iraq said: "We're trying to verify the pics, and I am not convinced they are authentic.

"As far as ISIS claiming it has killed 1,700 people and publishing horrific photos to support that claim, it is unfortunately in keeping with their pattern of commission of atrocities, and obviously intended to further fuel sectarian war," he said.

i think it's pretty funny for a muslim organisation to use the name of a god of an egyptian religion...

It's like using the name "hitler cares" to save jewish people for starvation.

Yes they pronunce it : إيزيس (isis)

I saw some that looked chopped.

I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold
I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace
As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold
I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless.

Yeah so they rounded up a bunch of Iraqis and sprayed some fake goat's blood on them to stage this photo.. sounds like something ISIS would do lol.

Any idiot with a Samsung Galaxy 4 cellphone could take the same equal quality pics these days. It's not rocket science.

I'm not saying whether the pics are genuine or fake - but this "empirical evidence" is horse-shit - someone talking out their ass.

A Samsung Galaxy 4 cellphone is Rocket Science.:winkwink:

they were crucifying people, rather horrifically, when AQ decided to 'distance' themselves.

So ISIS has a photoshop branch to make them look more gangster? Get out of here with that bullshit.

For one thing, it's usually obvious when something is faked, and that stuff looks like real life. And WHY would someone fake that? and WHY am I asking this question because the OP posts stupid bullshit 99% of the time anyways.
