German ISIS fanatic who fled to Syria following failed gangster rap career is executed by jihadi thugs after he is accused of spying
Poser Mario Sciannimanica - who posted topless pics online - is killed for treason by terrorist comrades
ISIS has executed a German Jihadi volunteer in its ranks for alleged spying.
Mario Sciannimanica's mother was contacted by terrorists in Syria earlier this year to say he had been killed in an American air strike.
But now it is revealed he was executed by the fanatics he converted to Islam for.
Accused of treason, he was either beheaded or shot.
The boy from Leverkusen — who fell into radical Jihadism three years ago — was a member of ISIS security unit Shurta Askeriya.
