HSBC one of the largest
banking organizations in the world sacked six staff who were caught filming
themselves, staging a mock ISIS-style beheading during a team building day at a
go karting centre.
The footage posted online shows five men in black overalls and balaclavas laughing as they stand over an Asian colleague, named as Saf Ahmed, who is kneeling in an orange jumpsuit.

One of the workers shouts
'Allahu Akbar' - Arabic for 'God is great' - as an 'executioner' brandishes a
coat hanger as a fake knife. The eight-second video, obtained by The Sun, was
shot as the workers were on a team-building exercise at a Teamworks Karting
track in Birmingham organised by the bank.
Mr Ahmed denied any
knowledge of the video, which was posted on Instagram but later deleted.
A HSBC spokesperson said:
'We do not tolerate
inappropriate behaviour. 'We took the decision to sack the individuals
involved. This is an abhorrent video and HSBC would like to apologise for any
offence caused.'
