An orphaned
baby was reportedly strapped to a booby trap device and blown up as
part of a sickening ISIS training camp exercise on improvised devices.
The
sadistic act is thought to have taken place near ash-Sharqat in the
northern Iraqi province of Salahuddin, where ISIS still holds
considerable territory.
Using
a remote control detonator, the baby was destroyed by the explosives to
show the trainee terrorists how to assemble improvised explosive
devices.
'The
booby-trapping of the baby was a training mission for Isis to teach its
elements the booby-trapping mechanisms,' according by Sadiq al-Husseini,
head of the security committee in Diyala province.
al-Husseini
claims the baby's father had been arrested and swiftly executed for
killing several ISIS militants. It is unclear what happened to the
baby's mother.
As
punishment for its father's attack on ISIS fighters, the baby was
brought to the training camp and used as part of a horrific
demonstration on assembling booby traps, al-Hussaini told Iraqi news.
al-Husseini commented: 'The organisation does not care for the most basic human values.'
The appalling child abuse is not the first time ISIS have used children as part of their war strategy.
ISIS
have frequently used teenage fighters as suicide bombers, with several
14-year-old boys being radicalised into detonating trucks of explosives
near enemy lines.
The
long suffering town of Kobani in northern Syria was recently hit badly
by several suicide bomb attacks, all carried out by teenage ISIS
fighters.
All Syrian nationals, the bombers appear fresh faced without a hint of a beard on their youthful faces.
The
four teenagers are individually pictured climbing into the drivers seat
of a lorry, heavily laden with explosives before detonating their
deadly cargo.
Children
have also featured heavily in ISIS propaganda videos, with footage of
'cubs of the caliphate' training camps appearing several times online.
Last
year, Kazakh child soldiers were videoed training with weapons and
reading verses of the Qu'ran in ISIS held territory in Iraq.
One
of the Kazakh soldiers was subsequently used in a horrific execution
video, where the young boy appears to execute a Russian spy, who
allegedly infiltrated the ranks of ISIS.
