إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The corpse of Sergeant Ali al-Sayyed, who was beheaded by jihadists on the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal, sustained two gunshots, As Safir newspaper reported on Thursday.
The daily said that it wasn't clear yet if al-Sayyed was shot before or after his decapitation.
The body of al-Sayyed was checked by a coroner, who confirmed the report.
In August, the army engaged in deadly clashes with militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant al-Qaida-affiliated al-Nusra Front in and around the Bekaa border town of Arsal.
The gunmen abducted around several troops and policemen during the fighting.
A few of them have since been released, two were beheaded by the IS, including al-Sayyed, while the rest remain held by the militants.
The government has sought Qatar's help to ensure their safe release and the negotiations are being led by General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim.
Al-Sayyed was shown in a video posted on YouTube on August 4, in which he appeared to be forced to declare his defection from the Lebanese army.
And Two days later the IS published grisly photos apparently showing a militant cutting off al-Sayyed's head, whose authenticity was initially questioned by military sources.

terrorist you keep attacking and accusing the army of all sorts of crazy stuff (similarly to what IS and nusra do) and you always try to find justifications for the crimes of your terrorist friends.
so dont try to pretend now that you're a decent human being, you're not fooling anyone.

enough with the double standards, do the same thing, or worse, to their beast brethren in lebanese jails. boil them alive (i said this before), do draconian ancient chinese punishments to these beasts. the message has to be passed to their free beasts, dont do this to our people. if not, they will keep doing that. make the punishment on the beasts in lebanese jails so bad that the relatives of the beasts start protesting against their own genetically related BEASTS!@
