The militant organisation Islamic State has enforced the death penalty against a Maldivian recruit in Iraq.
Haveeru reported today that the Maldivian was thrown off the top of a tall building last month.
He was sentenced to death by an IS court, the newspaper reported, but the alleged offence is unclear.
The Maldivian had traveled to IS-held territories in Syria in late 2014 and had gone to Iraq last month following a military offensive by the Iraqi army to recapture Tikrit.
A number of Maldivians jihadis who traveled to fight in the Syrian civil war have been reported dead. Commissioner of Police Hussein Waheed in early January estimated over 50 Maldivians could be fighting in foreign wars.
Most Maldivian jihadis are believed to have joined the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jabhat Al Nusra front in Syria.
