Freed ISIS Hostage Reveals Beheadings Are Staged, Used To Torture Prisoners
Former ISIS hostage, Javier Espinosa, revealed in the Sunday Times this weekend how mock executions were routinely used on prisoners by the Islamic State as a form of psychological torture.
Nationalpost.com reports:
Espinosa, who works for El Mundo and was on assignment for the Spanish daily when he was abducted in September 2013, characterized Emwazi as a bloodthirsty psychopath who enjoyed threatening him and other Western hostages.
He said Emwazi “caressed” his neck with a long blade and described how he would behead Espinosa: “Feel it? Cold, isn’t it? Can you imagine the pain you’ll feel when it cuts? Unimaginable pain,” he quoted Emwazi as saying.
Emwazi went on to describe precisely how the beheading would occur, the former hostage said, and explained where he would place Espinosa’s head once it had been done.
Espinosa described how the militants took pleasure in telling their more than 20 hostages each day that they would be beheaded. He said Emwazi used an antique sword for the mock executions and followed up by placing a Glock pistol against his head and pulling the trigger three times.
Espinosa said he and the other hostages dubbed three English jihadis who were part of the Islamic Stage group “The Beatles” — even though the world-famous Liverpool band had four members. The nickname “Jihadi John” — which later caught on in the British press — is a reference to former Beatle John Lennon.
