An image grab taken from a video released on March 17, 2014 by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's al-Furqan Media allegedly shows ISIL fighters raising their weapons with the Jihadist flag at an undisclosed location

Baghdad (AFP) – The Islamic State group has beheaded four men for armed robbery and murder in the northern Iraqi province of Nineveh, according to an online propaganda video seen by AFP Tuesday.

The undated video portrays the group, which has been steadily retreating recently from Iraqi forces backed by Iran and a US-led coalition, as still capable of maintaining law and order and dispensing justice.

A masked militant in front of a large crowd to reads out over a loudspeaker the charges of which the men were convicted by the “Islamic Court in the State of Nineveh”.

A masked executioner is then shown beheading four men with a sword, after which their bodies are hung on crosses in the back of a small pickup truck.

Earlier in the video, allegedly stolen money is shown being returned to its owners, who make thumbprints in a receipt book.

An IS offensive overran large areas north and west of Baghdad in June, but security forces and allied paramilitaries have succeeded in driving the militants out of much of two provinces north of the capital.

Nineveh, where the video was said to have been shot, was the first to fall to the IS-led drive and is still the jihadist group’s main stronghold in the country.

The militants have carried out a wave of abuses in areas they control in Iraq and Syria, including public beheadings, mass executions, enslavement and rape.
