Beheaded... for witchcraft: ISIS executioner decapitates man accused of sorcery in latest act of barbarity
- Terrorists beheaded the man in a public square in Salah al-Din province
- Huge crowds gathered in the streets to watch the group's latest atrocity
- The victim is believed to have been killed after he was accused of sorcery
- Gruesome image shows victim's dead body surrounded by prayer beads
- militants fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq have savagely beheaded a man accused of practicing sorcery and witchcraft.
Harrowing images of the killing are being shared by bloodthirsty supporters of the terror group on social media and show the victim lying in a pool of blood with his severed head resting on his back.
One of those distributing the sickening pictures is a man claiming to be a British militant fighting for the terror group who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Bakr al-Britani.
The gruesome photographs are understood to have been taken near Tikrit in Iraq's Salah al-Din province, where members of the Iraqi Army and allied Shiite volunteer militias have had great success in forcing the terrorists to withdraw in recent weeks.

Harrowing: This image - far too gruesome to publish in full - shows a close-up of the man's lifeless body, with his severed head resting on his back and surrounded by prayer beads
The exact crime the beheading victim is accused of committing is not known, but images of his violent death were uploaded to Twitter saying he was a 'sorcerer'.
Terror: One of those distributing the images is a man claiming to be a British ISIS jihadi who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Bakr al-Britani
The first photo shows the blindfolded and bound man wearing a brown jumpsuit as a bearded terrorist lifts an 18-inch long kukri machete high into the air ready to behead the defenceless victim.
A second image far too gruesome to publish in full then shows a close-up of the man's lifeless body, with his severed head resting on his back.
It is the exactly the same position British and American hostages are placed in after being savagely beheaded by ISIS' British executioner in chief Mohammed Emwazi, also known as Jihadi John.
Surrounding the man's lifeless body are dozens of brightly-coloured prayer beads.
It is likely the man had been selling the items, which ISIS terrorists consider bid’ah, meaning a 'reprehensible innovation'.
As is so often the case with ISIS' brutal public executions and amputations, huge crowds are seen in the streets to witness the man's beheading.
Young men and children and seen lining up in a town square and jostling for position as they struggle to get a better view of the atrocity.
Horror: The execution in Salah al-Din took place as Iraqi forensic teams working in the nearby, newly liberated city of Tikrit started exhuming bodies from mass graves believed to contain the bodies of up to 1,700 soldiers
