IS Executes Its Worst Leaders with Attack Dogs; Does So to Intimidate Its Soldiers to Obedience

Being enraged by its recent loss of territory to Kurdish and Iraqi forces, the Islamic State (IS) decided to take savage punitive action against several of its own leaders by using attack dogs to execute them, the Clarion Project website reports today (May 23, 2016).

IS found several of its leaders guilty of failing to carry out their duties, so it tied them to trees and set mad dogs on them. The dogs mauled them to death.

Hasan Khala Hasan -- a Peshmerga (Kurdish Army) commander on the front line -- reported the news. He said IS uses a variety of ultraviolet tactics to intimidate its soldiers into obedience.

"IS uses any members who are thought to be of no use, for the organization to frighten other members," Dier Ahmed, a Kurdish sociologist said.
