'We will cut you like shawarma': Gruesome video shows 'Angel of Death' Iraqi fighter carving flesh off the charred body of an 'ISIS fighter he burned to death'

Gruesome video footage shows an Iraqi soldier known as the 'Angel of Death' carving the flesh from the body of a charred ISIS fighter.
Ayyub al-Rubaie, who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Azrael, burned the man alive and hung his body from an electricity pylon in Baiji, it is claimed.
With the blackened extremist suspended behind him, he announced to the camera: 'ISIS this will be your fate, we will cut you like shawarma.'
He then used the sharpened blade to carve a chunk out of his leg - and smiled at the camera as he swaggered away.
A shawarma is a way of preparing meat by hanging it on a vertical spit, grilling it and then shaving it off - much like a kebab.

There has been mixed reaction to the video which has been shared on Twitter by activists and Iraqis who do not appear to be connected to Islamic State or any other group.
Some are furious that Azrael and the Iraqi militia sunk to the same depths as the terror group which has become infamous for its sickening execution videos.
A Kurdish user referred to him as a 'thug' and Ali Khedery, chief executive of risk management firm Dragoman Partners, wrote: 'War crimes are never justifiable. Horrific video featuring a war crime by Iraq's Abu Azrael.'
Others who referred to Azrael as the 'Iraqi Rambo' - because of his muscular build and ferocity on the battlefield - saw the act of violence as revenge on ISIS.
In February, the terror group released a video in which a captured Jordanian pilot was trapped in a cage and burned alive.
