ISIS Beheads Two Women in Syria

As Egypt reels in the wake of yesterday’s bomb attack, today news breaks that yet more tragedy has struck the region as ISIS has beheaded two women in Syria, allegedly accused by the terrorist group of “sorcery.” 

This most recent act from the group is unprecedented as it is the first time that the extremist group execute women. Chief of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, said "ISIS executed two women by beheading them in Deir Ezzor province, and this is the first time the Observatory has documented women being killed by the group in this manner," according to AFP.

The women were beheaded in two separate Syrian cities, Deir al-Zor and al-Mayadeen and both of them were beheaded with their husbands.
