ISIS jihadi executes his own mother for 'apostasy' in Syria

An ISIS extremist has executed his own mother before a public audience in Syrian city of Raqqa for allegedly inciting him to leave the terrorist organisation, an expat rights group said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the 20-year-old Ali Saqr al-Qasem killed his own mother in the Syrian city of Raqqa, ISIS' de facto capital, as hundreds of people looked on near the post office where she worked, CNN reported. 

According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, the exact charge against the extremist's mother al-Qasem was "inciting her son to leave the Islamic State and escaping together to the outside of Raqqa."

The jihadi's mother, who wanted to escape with him, told her son that "the coalition will kill all members of the organisation." The activist group, Raqqa is being slaughtered silently, said that the woman was 35 years old while the observatory said she was in her 40s. 

The Syrian monitor said that Ali Saqr al-Qasem had reported to the ISIS superiors about his mother who in turn sentenced her to death and ordered al-Qasem to be the one to perform the execution.
