Martin Barilla of Spero News writes:

A report issued to subscribers only by the MEMRI website showed a photograph of the victim crucified on an electric pylon in south Yemen's Abyan province. Translated, a sign affixed above the victim's head displayed the flag of the Al-Qaeda-linked group and a text from verse 5:33 of the Koran: "The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off from opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter."

(...) The Lebanon Today report translated by Shoebat said, “A leader in Ansar al-Islam claimed that these who were executed belong to the province of Marib, [and were executied] for planting trackers on cars that belong to al-Qaida leaders to be targeted by the drones.”

Shoebat said that crucifixions are “something new.” However, there have been reports recently that Christian children have been crucified by Muslim extremists in Iraq to terrify Christians and force them to leave.

The report noted, “One researcher, Saeed Obaid Elaf, said that, ‘The incidents of these executions never occurred previously in Yemen but follows the sequence of events which occurred previously in Afghanistan and Iraq [where] … Islam is the religion of the state. In Iraq these [terrorists] see Iraq as the Islamic State of Iraq.

“‘In Afghanistan, the ones who receive this type of executions are those who are considered spies. But in Yemen this is the first time we have seen such phenomenon, which has become a natural thing now because al-Qaida now exercises the powers of the state and it’s natural that it carries out such executions.”

A report on the Arabic Sky News notes that crucifixions are being carried out in Egypt, virtually under the nose of the newly elected President Mohammed Morsi, who has long been a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. An English translation of the Sky News report stated that members of the Muslim Brotherhood crucified dissidents and “crucified” them “naked on trees in front of the presidential palace.”

A translation of the Arabic Sky News report said, ““Sky News correspondent confirmed that members of the Muslim Brotherhood crucified dissidents to Muhammad Mursi naked on trees in front of the presidential palace. In addition, other demonstrators from the Muslim Brotherhood closed the gates not allowing entry to Media City in the area of Sixth of October as they attacked popular media figures.” Several other newspapers in the region reported on the crucifixions, while at least one website posted the image of a man who narrowly escaped crucifixion but suffered a gaping wound in his side. Al Dostour, an Egyptian newspaper, and TunisSat also reported on the crucifixions. (...)
