Islamic State group 'executes 700' in Syria

The Islamic State group has executed 700 members of a tribe it has
been battling in eastern Syria during the past two weeks, the majority
of them civilians, a monitoring group said.


The killing spree happened in several villages inhabited by the
al-Sheitat tribe in Deir Ezzor province, where the tribe are from, the
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday.  

The silence of the international community is unbelievable. There is no excuse for them to keep a blind eye on what is happening in Syria.  Hadi al-Bahra,   Syrian National Coalition leader

The Observatory said many of the victims, who were Sheitat tribesmen,
were beheaded after they were captured by the Islamic State group.
