Reports: ISIS Dissolves Live Enemies In Vats Of Acid

We’ve heard of acid attacks against Muslim girls and women who have drain cleaner or similar substances splashed in their face when they smile at a man who isn’t their husband, or who don’t return romantic affection, or who disobey Allah and the will of the clan.

ISIS has just raised that already-unspeakable cruelty to a whole new level.

Via the Toronto Sun:

ISIS executed 25 alleged spies in Mosul by lowering them into a huge vat of nitric acid, according to several news reports. A witness to the gruesome killings told IraqiNews.com that each man was tied up with a rope then “lowered in the tub … until the victim’s organs dissolved.”

Nitric acid is a highly corrosive mineral acid used in fertilizer and rocket fuel, and also used for etching steel. Even a drop will burn through skin and requires instant treatment.

The brutal executions appear to be a new way ISIS is attempting to keep control of its conquered citizens through fear — even as its conquered territories shrink through several recent military losses.

ISIS has previously used metal cages to burn and drown enemies. And now, full-body acid baths — all in the name of Allah, the most merciful.
