A young English-speaking boy has appeared in a new Islamic State propaganda video that shows the murder of five hostages it claims worked for the British intelligence services.
The 11-minute footage, which was released by the Isis media wing, also includes a “message for David Cameron”, read by a masked man with a British-sounding accent who threatens attacks in the UK.
Standing behind five kneeling hostages in orange jumpsuits, the unknown extremist repeatedly points a gun at the camera while claiming to be preparing an invasion of Isis fighters in Europe.
The video then appears to show the murder of the hostages, who allegedly “confess” to completing reconnaissance missions sanctioned by British authorities.
