   In a gruesome new video released by ISIS’ propaganda wing on Monday, a   
   Russian intelligence officer is apparently coerced into calling on his country   
   to abandon its bombing campaign in Syria – moments before he’s beheaded by   
   a Jihadi killer.   
      
   The footage, released by ISIS’ Furat media arm, is believed to show the   
   death of Capt. Yevgeny Petrenko, 36, who’s been held by ISIS since at least   
   September. In the latest release, Petrenko is shown in the same black clothing   
   he’s seen wearing in    
   a September video, with a white name badge over his right breast bearing the   
   word “infidel” on it, according to a translation from Threat Matrix.   
       
   In Monday’s video, Petrenko, who claimed to be a member of the Russian   
   Federal Security Service, says he was abandoned by the Russian government and   
   asks the Kremlin to stop its military campaign against Syrian rebels, The   
   Washington Post reported.   
      
   “I was supposed to infiltrate the special services of the caliphate and the   
   leadership of the caliphate,” Petrenko said. “One of my orders was to gain   
   access to Omar al-Shishani or to his circle. But during this I was discovered   
   and arrested by the    
   security services of the caliphate.”   
      
   Shishani, also referred to as “Omar the Chechen,” was a top ISIS commander   
   in Syria, but was confirmed killed in a July 2016 U.S. airstrike.   
      
   The unidentified man who murders Petrenko speaks Russian, and may be one of   
   thousands of fighters from the former Soviet Union who’ve flocked to join   
   ISIS. Russia is also plagued more directly by Islamic terror carried out by   
   groups from the mostly-   
   Muslim caucus regions. Most recently, 15 people were killed when militants   
   detonated a bomb on a St. Petersburg subway train on April 3.   
      
   Russia has been involved in the Syrian civil war since at least September   
   2015, when it stepped in to help prop up the government of embattled leader   
   Bashar Assad.
