The date is 23 MAR 2016. Just after early morning prayers, your team was brought to meet with two officials: Ali bin Hamza from the online magazine Dabiq and Daoud El-Said from Al-Hisbah, the religious police.
El-Said angrily shut down any suggestion that the meeting be recorded. Then he took away all your phones. He said they were needed by other fighters.

Bin Hamza began the briefing:

» Your social media guys — Arshad, Qazim, and Gökhan — are going to film an action against a suspected heretic named Tariq Mohammed Rassam. Timur Alimsultanov will supervise the team and handle demolitions. The other fighters will provide security and handle excavation equipment.
» Brother Rassam purports to be a good Sunni, but some suspect he is a Christian who should pay the dhimmi tax like all non-Muslims. Others suspect he is Sufi or even Shiite. In those cases he must be tried and executed for apostasy.
» Two servants live with Rassam, his driver and gardener Majid al-Muhandis and his cook and maid Shatha Hassoun.

Daoud el-Said added:

» Brother Rassam owned a marble quarry and is a former teacher at the University of Mosul.
» During the war with Iran in the 1980s, Brother Rassam was granted permission to build a bomb shelter beneath his house.
» Brother Rassam is known for his interest in antiquities, so his home was previously searched and many blasphemous artifacts were found and destroyed. He was, however, able to demonstrate his devotion to ISIL by the signing over ownership of his quarry and his two cars.
» Subsequent visits to Rassam’s home found no sign of the shelter. Brother Rassam has yet to be confronted with the fact that he failed to point out the shelter’s existence to ISIL officials.

El-Said impatiently refused to answer questions. He gave the fighters their orders:

» Proceed to the home of Brother Rassam and gain access to the bomb shelter. It is strongly suspected that Rassam is hiding pre-Islamic artifacts there. If possible, the house should not be damaged in case it has some value to ISIL.
» Find the stash of heretical idolatry. Destroy some of the offending items for propaganda purposes. Leave the rest to be boxed up for later disposal by another team from Al-Hisbah.
» Charge and arrest everyone in the house with idolatry and bring them back to Mosul. They must be brought in alive for interrogation, trial, and execution. Such spectacles are the duty and privilege of the state. Failure to bring in the suspects alive will show the limitations of the team members’ use to ISIL except perhaps in conducting martyrdom operations as suicide bombers.
» Film everything.
