Islamic State devils stone couple to death for having pre-marital sex

Stuck in time

Here's today's update from the 7th century:

From the Mirror:

Sickening images have emerged of a man and woman appearing to be stoned to death by Islamic State militants for 'having sex before marriage'.

The images show a large crowd gathered around the pair in ISIS-controlled city Mosul, in northern Iraq, as the bound and blindfolded couple are murdered in the street.

A charge sheet is said to have been read to the crowd accusing the man and woman - both believed to be in their 20s - of 'fornication' and announcing their barbaric punishment.

A large pile of stones and rocks were then hurled by around 12 jihadis, leaving the road in the public square covered in blood.
