Notorious ISIS executioner ‘Bulldozer’ captured by Syrian army (video+photos)

Responsible for many murders and mutilations

Newsroom June 2 03:34

The Syrian army claims it has captured the notorious 130kg Islamic State (IS) executioner known as ‘the Bulldozer’. A video released shows the large man on the back of a pickup truck surrounded by Syrian soldiers. The Islamist murderer got his name after series of photos were posted online depicting him holding a large 52kg machine gun. Other photos showed him wielding a sword before executing his victims. ‘Bulldozer’, whose real name is not known is said to have killed a 15-year old boy for listening to western music. According to the Daily Mail he was part of the jihadists’ ‘special’ execution committee that carried out the punishments to people violating sharia law, and was responsible for many murders and mutilations.
