The now-deleted accounts, “IraqiSwat” and its back-up, “IraqiSwat2,” uploaded photos and videos claiming to be from the heat of combat against ISIS terrorists.
In one seemingly ruthless post, Iraqi Swat uploaded a photo of a captured ISIS extremist, prompting users to vote for whether or not they should kill him or let him live. There were a flood of replies with just "kill" on the post.
One hour later, they uploaded a selfie of an Iraqi soldier with the dead body behind him, captioned, “Thanks for vote,” hinting that the comments decided his fate.
But these posts are likely a hoax, as several of the account's photos have been lifted from other social media pages, including the infamous execution post.
“It’s a fake account run by kids who don’t live in Iraq. Most of the images they post are taken from Facebook accounts of fighters or from YouTube videos,” Haidar Sumeri, an Iraqi security analyst said
