The Takfiri ISIL terrorist group has executed an Iraqi journalist in the country’s northern city of Mosul over “spying,” local officials say.
A former local security officer and a medical source, whose names were not mentioned in reports, confirmed yesterday the death by firing squad of 27-year-old Jala al-Abadi in the capital of Nineveh Province on Wednesday.

Abadi, who had worked both as a journalist and a cameraman for over 10 years, had been held in                                         captivity for 41 days after being kidnapped from his home on June 4.

A father of two, he had left Mosul back in June 2014 but returned to the city earlier this year.

He was kidnapped before he could leave again and was charged by ISIL with “leaking information” about the terrorist group to the national press. — Presstv
