ISIS sets fire to hundreds of crates of Halal chicken despite thousands of refugees facing starvation in Syria - because it was made in the U.S.
- Hundreds of boxes of fresh meat was being taken to refugees in Aleppo
- But ISIS militants spotted a label claiming the chickens were US-reared
- They declared the cargo 'unlawful' and set light to hundreds of the crates
- Wastage comes despite up to 650,000 facing starvation in war-torn Syria
Depraved
Islamic State militants have deliberately destroyed hundreds of boxes
of American-produced Halal chicken despite hundreds of thousands facing
starvation in war-torn Syria.
The
barbaric terror group released photos show crates of chicken being set
alight in a field near the city of Aleppo even though the meat being was
slaughtered according to Islamic law and was perfectly fit for
consumption.
The
food was burned after the jihadis noticed labels on the boxes that
suggested the birds had been reared and slaughtered in the United States
- something ISIS considers so beyond the pale that hungry refugees on
the brink of starving to death are banned from eating the meat.
Waste: The barbaric terror group
released photos show crates of chicken being set alight in a field near
the city of Aleppo despite the meat being slaughtered according to
Islamic law and perfectly fit for eat
Sick: One of the images released by
ISIS shows a group of jihadis removing the boxes of chicken from the
lorry and hurling them down the steep side of a road
The
images of the chicken burning were released by the Islamic State's
official propaganda wing in Aleppo province, which the militants refer
to by its ancient name, Halab.
The
photo shows a close up shot of the apparent label, which states the
meat had been produced by an Illinois-based company and inspected by the
U.S. food standard agency.

Certified
as Halal, meaning it has been slaughtered in accordance with Islamic
Law, it is believed the meat was destined for the thousands of starving
refugees in the city of Aleppo.
Instead,
the two lorries were stopped by ISIS' religious police force - known as
Al-Hesbah - at a checkpoint in Aleppo province, where the cargo was
deemed unlawful.

The
militants then set the meat alight and watch as hundreds of pounds
worth of perfectly good food goes up in flames within sight of camps
providing a home to thousands of starving refugees.
The photographs of the appalling wastage were proudly published on ISIS social media accounts.
According
to the Syrian American Medical Society, around 650,000 Syrian civilians
are living in heavily besieged communities in the country.
