[Al Jazeera] A new video from the Islamic State purportedly shows the group killing captured Ethiopian Christians in Libya. The 29-minute video released online today shows two groups of dark-skinned captives. It says one group is held by an IS affiliate in eastern Libya and the other by an affiliate in the south.A masked fighter makes a long statement before the video switches between footage of the captives in the south being gunned down and the captives in the east being beheaded on a beach. The footage shows one group of about 12 men being beheaded by armed men on a beach and another group of at least 16 being shot in the head in a desert area.
The video bore the official logo of the IS media arm Al-Furqan and resembled their previous videos. A text on the screen identifies the men as "followers of the cross from the enemy Ethiopian Church".
