A video has been released which purports to show members of ISIS parading caged Kurdish fighters through the city of Kirkuk, Iraq, and those captured could suffer the same fate as Jordanian pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh:

More from the Daily Mail:
Heads bowed in terror the orange-clad Kurdish fighters are paraded through streets filled with jeering militants in the latest horrifying video release from Islamic State.
In a grim echo of the terrible fate which befell Jordanian pilot Lieutenant Muath al-Kaseasbeh the captives, reportedly Peshmerga fighters, are dressed in orange jumpsuits and shackled in cages.
Just as Lt. al-Kaseasbeh was burned alive on camera, IS are planning to do the same with their latest prisoners, according to posts on social media.
Just horrible.

As ISIS grows our leader is still playing with selfie sticks. Their boldness must be met with strength, not excuses http://t.co/1Tlf69iyZv
