Sinai martyr leaves legacy of faith

Iain Taylor; Christian Today

A 62-year-old grandfather, Nabil Habashi Salama, has been executed by Islamic State supporters in north Sinai, Egypt.

Nabil, a Coptic Christian, was kidnapped five months ago in front of his home. As he resisted he was beaten badly before being thrown into a stolen car. Subsequently, he was shot in the back of the head, kneeling. His teeth had been broken as the extremists sought to make Nabil deny his faith.
