Jihadists from the Islamic State militant group beheaded a man in the eastern Syrian town of al- Ghranij and shoot dead a second man in the town of al- Keshkiyyah, a monitoring group reported Wednesday.
The reasons for the two executions in Deir Ezzor province were unclear, according to activists cited by the UK-based Syrian Human Rights Observatory.
The London-based monitor relies for its information on a network of activists and doctors inside Syria.
IS is notorious for its beheadings and other bloodthirsty forms of execution and punishments meted out in its self-proclaimed 'caliphate' consisting of swathes of territory in Syrian and Iraq under its control.
