The Lebanese army is investigating pictures and video footage of the alleged beheading of a Lebanese soldier by Islamic State jihadists, a military spokesman told AFP on Saturday. IS supporters released a video showing the decapitation of a blindfolded man in military fatigues, and presented as one of 19 Lebanese soldiers abducted by jihadists in eastern Leba**n on August 2. "We are investigating," a military spokesman said, without saying whether the video was thought to be authentic. He becomes visibly scared when one of the three an**unces that he is to be killed, and is then beheaded to cries of "Islamic State!" One gunman charges that his death is in reprisal for the Lebanese army acting "under the orders" of Leba**n's Shiite Hezbollah movement, which is fighting alongside Syrian regime forces against rebels and jihadists.
