Recent events have it that the Islamic State of Iran and Syria (ISIS) recruits children and kill them in a rather bizarre manner.
Most recent of these killings by the terrorist organisation is that of Abu Imara al Omri, who was blown up after kneeling to kiss his father’s hand (a final blessing to the other world).
According to CNN, the 11-year-old boy blew himself up in a truck full of explosives after the disturbing goodbye which is one of many was captured by ISIS last month.
Reports gathered further have it that the group’s supporters claimed that the boy was used to help take out the village of Ghazl near Aleppo, Syria.
The use of child soldiers such as Omri, is not one which was started by ISIS, the major concern, however, is that this new strategy by the terror group is that it is not in line with latest trends of previous conflicts.
It was reported further that the group is not known to use children under 18 years because of certain technical advantage in combat.
And according to a new study published by CTC Sentinel, child soldiers are not treated quite differently from adult soldiers, meaning that there’s no sanctity accorded to childhood in the self-proclaimed Islamic Caliphate.
