An Al-Qaeda-affiliated group in Yemen crucified an alleged US spy, and
posted a video of the crucifixion on YouTube, the Middle East Media
Research Institute (MEMRI) said on Wednesday.
MEMRI posted and with a viewer discretion warning


The victim was crucified on an electric pylon in south Yemen’s Abyan province.


A sign above the man’s head showed the flag of the Al-Qaeda-linked
group and text from verse 5:33 of the Koran: “The recompense of those
who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land
is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their
feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That
is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the
Hereafter.
