An ISIS fighter pleaded with his Kurdish captors to kill him, so he could make a 'religious ceremony' in heaven at 4pm.
The
jihadi was taken prisoner by the Peshmerga, near Mosul, in northern
Iraq, on the day of the Muslim festival of Isra and Mi'iraj.
The celebration marks the night when Allah took Muhammed on a journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then to heaven.
The prisoner said the commemoration even in heaven was starting at 4pm.
A lieutenant-colonel in Peshmerga, Salim al-Surji, told Clarion Project:
'While I was bandaging his wound I asked him where he was from and he
said he's from Samarra (a city in Iraq) and that he came to fight here
with 50 other armed men.
'They
were supposed to commit suicide using their suicide belts because today
is the anniversary of the Isra and Mi'iraj celebration. He told me "all
of us must be in heaven by 4pm, kill me".'
