Dramatic
footage has captured an 'ISIS child suicide bomber aged 12 or 13' being
stripped of his explosive belt moments before it was about to be
detonated.
The
boy reportedly burst into tears as he was detained by Iraqi police in
Kirkuk, north of Baghdad, less than 24 hours after a child suicide
bomber killed at least 51 people and injured 100 more at a wedding party
in Turkey.
His arrest followed
two other suicide bomb attacks in Kirkuk hours earlier amid fears
children are increasingly being used by ISIS to carry out deadly
attacks.
Three people were injured in one while in another there were no casualties.
The Kurdish media group Rudaw revealed today that the apprehended suspect was stripped of his explosives belt by security forces before being led away.
'There is a dangerous campaign tonight against Kirkuk,' a security official told the network.
It has been claimed the boy was planning to blow himself up outside a Shia mosque.
The attacks follow recent successful military offensives by Peshmerga forces against ISIS.
Earlier
this year it was revealed that ISIS had released an app teaching the
Arabic alphabet to its 'cubs of the caliphate' - using cartoon images of
weaponry.
The
terror group uses pictures of tanks, ammunition and swords to help
children remember certain letters in its bizarre learning aid.
