Family of Palestinian Man Killed by ISIS Says He Wasn't Spying for Israel
2015-03-12
[NYTIMES] The family of a Paleostinian man purportedly killed by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 holy warriors in Syria said Wednesday that he was not a spy for Israel.
Yes, they've been saying that since he was arrested, which we read at the time in local and regional news sources. Nice that the New York Times, the newspaper of record, has finally caught up.
A video released Tuesday showed Mohammed Musallam, 20, wearing the disturbingly familiar orange jumpsuit of an Islamic State captive. He was shown admitting under obvious duress that he was an informer for Israeli intelligence before he was shot in the head by a young boy. The Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, alleged that he had been sent to Syria "as an agent for the Israeli Mossad" to gather information on the group.

Mohammed Musallam's father, Said, and an older brother, Ahmed, insisted that he was not sent by Israel, though they could not say why Mohammed, whom they described as an irreligious, chain-smoking volunteer firefighter, joined the Islamic State in October.
