Terrorist organization ISIS has crossed all limits of cruelty. Terrorists associated with this beheaded a Christian priest in the African country of Mozambique and killed him. Not only this, his severed head was handed over to his wife, so that she could show it to the authorities.
According to local media reports, the murder took place in the country’s gas-rich northern province of Cabo Delgado. The whole incident came to light when the wife of a pastor in Mozambique’s Delgado state approached the police with her husband’s severed head. In fact, last Wednesday, the priest’s widow had reached the district police headquarters with a sack containing her husband’s head. The officers were surprised to see this. The woman told officials that the terrorists had abducted her husband from the farm before beheading him. The woman told the police that she was ordered to inform the authorities about the killing of her husband by suspected militants linked to Islamic State. These terrorists had caught the pastor in the field.
Islamic State-linked militants have been carrying out attacks in Delgado province since 2017, killing more than 3,000 people and forcing 800,000 to flee. Dozens of people have been killed in attacks earlier this year. Mozambique’s president says that in the last few years there has been success in curbing terrorism. There have been 160 terrorist attacks in 2020 and 52 in 2021. This has been made possible through military cooperation with neighboring countries. Meanwhile, 245 terrorists have been apprehended and 200 have been killed.
