Hundreds of people were seen watching the execution. It was not clear when it took place.

The Associated Press reported in May that scores of troops and state employees were killed after the Islamic State group captured the town.

Palmyra is a UNESCO world heritage site famous for its 2,000-year-old Roman colonnades, other ruins and priceless artifacts.
