Boko Haram Releases First Beheading Video
The Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram has released its first video of a beheading since it pledged allegiance to ISIS.
The new video adopts many stylistic features of the hundreds of barbaric videos released by ISIS over the year.
The insignia ‘west Africa’ at the top-left corner suggests that ISIS has set up a new media wing in the country.
According to Daily Mail, a Somali terror group intends to join ISIS, which would extend its so-called caliphate to East-Africa.

The video then cuts to reveal his decapitated body lying motionless on the floor.
Boko Haram is responsible for the deaths of over 10,000 people in Nigeria. The group pledged allegiance to Islamic State this year.
