Islamic State video purportedly shows two Turkish soldiers burned alive

The Islamic State (IS) jihadist group on Thursday released a video purporting to show two captured Turkish soldiers being burned alive.

The video, showing two uniformed men being hauled from a cage before being bound and burned alive, was posted on jihadist websites.

The IS-linked news agency Amaq said last month that the jihadists had kidnapped two Turkish soldiers, and the Turkish army separately said it had lost contact with two of its men.
