On February 12, 2015, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) released a report in their online magazine ''Dabiq'' showing photos of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christian migrant workers that they had kidnapped in the city of Sirte, Libya, and whom they threatened to kill to "avenge the () kidnapping of Muslim women by the Egyptian Coptic Church". The men, who came from different villages in Egypt, 13 of them from Al-Our, Minya Governorate, were kidnapped in Sirte in two separate attacks on December 27, 2014, and in January 2015. Earlier in 2014, a militia group in eastern Libya declared its affiliation with ISIL, it then took over parts of Derna in late 2014. People allied to the group claimed responsibility for attacks across the country, including the Corinthia Hotel attack in January 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Islamic State takes Libyan city; 100K under terror group's control as chaos spreads - Washington Times )〕 ==Video== On February 15, a five-minute video was published, showing the beheading of the captives on a beach along the southern Mediterranean coast. A caption in the video called the captives the "people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian Church".〔 In the video one of the killers in camouflage declared in North-American English: :"Oh people, recently you've seen us on the hills of Al-Sham (Syria ) and on Dabiq's Plain, chopping off the heads that had been carrying the cross delusion for a long time, filled with spite against Islam and Muslims, and today we… are sending another message: Oh crusaders, safety for you will be only wishes especially when you're fighting us all together, therefore we will fight you all together until the war lays down its burdens and Jesus peace be upon him will descend, breaking the cross, killing the swine. The sea you've hidden Sheikh Osama bin Laden's body in, we swear to Allah we will mix it with your blood."〔(Ahram Online: "Video shows beheading of Copts at IS hands; Egypt declares week of mourning" ) 15 Feb 2015〕 After beheading the hostages, a message appears on the screen: "The filthy blood is just some of what awaits you, in revenge for Camelia and her sisters"〔〔(Raman Media network: "ISIS Video Shows Mass Beheading of Christian Hostages" by Rakash Raman ) February 16, 2015〕 (referencing Camelia Shehata, a Coptic Egyptian woman and wife of a Coptic priest who Islamists believe had converted to Islam and was detained by the Coptic Church because of it. She later denied the claim). Finally the speaker declares "We will conquer Rome, by Allah’s permission," pointing his knife toward the sea.〔 As in other ISIL videos, the captives wore orange jumpsuits, intended as a reference to the attire of prisoners in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.〔 The group of killers identified itself in the video as the "Tripoli Province" of ISIL.〔 The leader of the squad performing the killings was identified as a Libyan expatriate who goes by the nom de guerre Al Qaqa'a Ben Omro.〔http://www.dostor.org/773464〕 The Coptic Church of Egypt, Egyptian government, as well as the Libyan parliament, confirmed the deaths. Following the release of the video, several experts argued that it had been digitally manipulated and that the actual murders were likely filmed in front of a green screen and then superimposed onto the footage of the beach. The videos were manipulated to show the militants as being over six feet tall in order to propagate fear, although there were manipulations done to the video, experts say that the 21 Christians were killed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2015 kidnapping and beheading of Copts in Libya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
