Det cord as latest means of execution. Just when the civilized world thought the Islamic jihadists of ISIS simply couldn't get more barbaric than they already are, they prove the civilized world wrong. As reported by Michael Kaplan of the International Business Times, as well as Sara Malm of the Daily Mail (of London, Great Britain), both on Mar. 17, 2016, the savages of ISIS have again displayed the depths of depravity they're capable of sinking to.
While violently spreading their notion of a 21st century world-wide Islamic caliphate based on the strict interpretation of Shari'a Law, ISIS has heavily relied on 7th century execution techniques. Other than slowly carving off heads, burning people alive, and drowning transgressors, ISIS have found a new use for det cord.
Again taking to social media, the terrorist group has released a video of four "spies" and a pair of "apostates" were executed by various means. Seen wearing the standard orange jumpsuits that ISIS forces the condemned to wear, three of the men were seen shot in the back of the head while two others had their heads slowly sliced off their bodies with hand-held knives.
But in a first for the sanguine Islamists, a clerk at the Fallujah General Hospital who was identified as Mohamed Mahmoud Dayih, was decapitated after being found guilty of attempting to use his administrative position to send information to the Iraqi central government in Baghdad. But what makes the execution of Dayih different was that detonation cord (also known as primer cord or simply as det cord) was wrapped around his neck effectively blowing his head off his body much like a champagne cork.
Essentially the longest, thinnest explosive device possibly ever made, det cord has long been used by the world's various armed forces to breach fortified and obstructed objectives. As shown on the official website of the US Marine Corps, the Leathernecks of Mobility Assault Company, 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, 2nd Marine Division in Camp Lejeune, NC, demonstrate the proper use of the cable wire-type explosive device.
The bastardized use of det cord by ISIS is widely understood as just another attempt to shock the world at how they deal with those who cross them. Another example of the ISIS strategy of shock, disgust and possibly strike fear into the weak-willed in the West would be the 2015 execution of "two men accused of homosexuality being thrown from a building and stoned by a crowd once they hit the ground."
