ISIS has executed dozens of its own fighters as suspected US spies including by dunking them in acid

ISIS commanders are killing their own fighters by plunging them in vats of acid in a panicked search for US spies, it has emerged.

 Terror bosses devised the brutal new method of execution after a string of senior figures were killed in precision drone strikes in Iraq and Syria.

Around 38 suspected informants were killed in Mosul last month  many by being dunked in acid  in a vicious purge launched in response to the death of terror leader Abu Hayjaa al-Tunsi.

His vehicle was blown to bits as he was driving through northern Syria in March. Commanders are said to be growing increasingly paranoid that closely guarded details of their movements are being leaked from inside their own ranks.

Other senior figures wiped out by drones recently include ISIS ‘Minister of War’ Omar al-Shishani and feared Iraqi militant Shaker Wuhayeb, also known as Abu Wahib.


A top finance official known as Abu Ali Al-Anbari was also targeted, and British butcher JIhadi John real name Mohammed Emwazi  was ‘evaporated’ by a missile in Raqqa despite moving safe between houses around constantly.

Bebars al-Talawy, a Syrian activist who monitors ISIS, said: “Commanders don’t dare come from Iraq to Syria because they are being liquidated.”

In Mosul, the biggest city held by ISIS, a succession of commanders who held the post of governor have each died in airstrikes and the new governor refuses to be identified, according to the Iraqi intelligence service.

Opposition activists say dozens of ISIS members have been murdered in the purge on suspected US moles. Others have been locked up in prison or have fled the terror group fearing they will be next to fall under suspicion.

The bodies of executed ‘spies’ are displayed in public as a warning and ever more gruesome killing methods are dreamt up to keep its people in line.
