Several HSBC employees in the UK have been fired after making a mock ISIS beheading video, The Sun reported.

The seven-second clip, which was reportedly posted on Instagram before being deleted, shows five people in black jumpsuits and face masks chanting while a man kneels in an orange jumpsuit.

The video was reportedly made during a team-building exercise at Teamworks Karting, an indoor go-kart track in Birmingham.

"We do not tolerate inappropriate behaviour. As soon as The Sun brought this video to our attention we took the decision to sack the individuals involved. This is an abhorrent video and HSBC would like to apologise for any offence caused," an HSBC spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
