The three male Christian captives met their deaths in September but news of the execution only surfaced this week.

A video released by the Islamic group shows one of the men delivering an Isis threat. In the video, a demand for $50,000 ransom for each of the surviving captives is made; ISIS demands were reportedly lowered when it became clear the Assyrian Christian community could not afford to pay the $23 million needed to free all of the hostages.
