While the Telegraph's headline reads: Al-Qaeda-linked rebels apologise after cutting off head of wrong person, Foreign Policy provided this summary:
- Militants from al Qaeda-affiliate Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) issued a statement asking for forgiveness after a video was posted online of ISIS fighters brandishing the decapitated head of a commander of Ahrar al-Sham, an ISIS ally who ISIS says it beheaded by mistake.
