ISIS Takes aim at Putin, With Videos Showing Russian 'spy' Beheading, Threats to Moscow

ISIS sent a chilling message to Moscow Wednesday, releasing a video showing the beheading of a Russian accused of spying, and another clip that included threats to attack Moscow, as well as Washington and New York. The video showing the beheading is believed to have come from the terrorist group’s stronghold in Raqqa, Syria, where the Russian military has conducted devastating air attacks in recent weeks. The alleged spy’s identity was not immediately known, but he is believed to have gone to Syria in 2014.
"Here today, on this blessed land, the battle [against Russia] begins," the militant says in Russian.

"We shall kill your children for every child you've killed here."

The extremist also warns the Russian people that they are likely to face another defeat in reference their loss of occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980's and that their people are not even safe in their homeland.
"We shall kill your children for every child you've killed here," he states. "And we will destroy your homes for each home you destroyed here."
The first part of the video shows a confession from the alleged spy who identifies himself as Khasiev Magomid, 23, from the Chechen city of Grozny.
The video showing the beheading is believed to have come from the terrorist group’s stronghold in Raqqa, Syria, where the Russian military has conducted devastating air attacks in recent weeks.
He recounts how he was recruited by the FSB, Russia's intelligence services, and how he assumed the alias of Haroon when he traveled to Syria. He adds how he was tasked with collecting information on ISIS fighters of Russian origin and especially those who wanted to return to the Caucasus region and Russia to carry out attacks.
In the other video, which does not show any captives, two camouflage-garbed men are seen sitting cross-legged on a beach, rifles propped against their shoulders. The first man speaks in Arabic, while the second speaks in English with what Middle East Media Research Institute analysts believe is an African accent.
