The Islamic State (IS) is reportedly getting undercover men to flirt with men in an attempt to identify gay men in the areas under its control.
The members of the terror outfit's undercover male-only squad pose as a homosexual, make contact with other men and set up a meeting. When the targeted person makes contact, he is arrested immediately and executed, The Independent reported.
The honey trap tactic was used by special brigades of young fighters in the Hisbah religious police.
Sodomy is considered a crime under Sharia law and is punishable by death, usually barbaric execution.
The terror group is employing the trap in a bid to eradicate all gay men from their lands in Syria, Iraq and Libya.
Several men have been killed, stoned to death for being gay by the IS regime.
