They are being murdered in a brutal and barbaric way,premeditated murder too.

It really makes me feel sick thinking about it all.
This is a tough one really. You can't dispute that the killings are needless and barbaric, but they are "war kills", so to speak... And whilst I think there's a very good case for describing any deliberate killing as a murder, you can't pick and choose. You would have to brand our own soldiers and pilots murderers too. Murder is the action and not dependant on the method or how brutal the death is.
