U.S. officials say it was among a trove of data and other information obtained by U.S. special forces in a raid in eastern Syria in May. "The apostate's life and organs don't have to be respected and may be taken with impunity," says the document, which is in the form of a fatwa, or religious ruling, from the Islamic State's Research and Fatwa Committee.
