The terrorist organization ISIS broadcast a video of the execution of a Copt in the village of Bir al-Abed in North Sinai, Nabil Habashi, who was kidnapped in November 2020.
The firing squad carried out the execution under the pretext of Christian support for the Egyptian army and the Egyptian state against the Islamic State.
Last November, gunmen kidnapped Nabil Habashi Salama in Bir al-Abd in North Sinai among passers-by.
They stole a car under duress, kidnapped the Habashi, and fled it in the middle of the city without being intercepted.
They asked for a ransom of five million; then no one heard of them until the video clip appeared today.
Nabil Habashi was the one who built the sole Church in Bir al-Abd center.
Before his execution, ISIS forced Nabil Habashi to record a video in which he said his name and that the Church was cooperating with the army against the Islamic State.
Before the execution, the terrorists sent a threatening message to the Coptics supporting the Egyptian state.
They said that Coptics must pay the ransom, indicating that the Christians of Egypt that this is a penalty for those who follow the army, and the bill is long, and the calculation is complex.
Then they shot the Habashi in the head.
The video was completed by a show of ISIS killing many Sinai people in attacking them, in the filming of an armed organization celebrating the killing of the people of Sinai.
Nabil Habashi’s family has been working in the trade-in Bir al-Abd for many years in various fields of gold and mobile phones.
