UK-based The Times newspaper on Saturday published a heartbreaking interview with a 14-year-old teenager, Mohammed, talking about teenagers who were recruited by ISIS terrorist group to launch suicide attacks.
According to The Times, boys living under the rule of the ISIS can only opt to be terrorist or suicide bomber.
" Mohammed, 15-year boy, along with his 19-year elder brother, 'signed up to the martyrdom list of volunteers willing to strap Semtex around their bellies and blow themselves to shreds in the name of the caliphate [Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi the leader of ISIS],' Hannah Lucinda Smith's Interview cited the 14-year old teenager as saying. "There were 500 people waiting to follow him, but many were foreigners.
Answering a question about the volunteers' motivation to launch a suicide attack, Mohammed explained "It’s the fastest way to paradise," but added that he didn’t want to join his brother becuase "That’s what the foreigners do."
Mohammed and his friend Khalil, 14 years, seem to age less than their true ages, but they were using the propaganda slogans of ISIS terrorist group.
Earlier in June, the Daily Mail newspaper reported that 500 children were kidnapped by ISIS in Iraq and are being brainwashed into becoming suicide bombers or child soldiers.
quoting an Iraqi official, the paper said that the children were taken from Iraq's Anbar and Diyala provinces, and taken to the violent group's bases so they can be used in 'terror attacks', according to authorities in the two regions.
"About 400 of the children were taken from Anbar, to the west of Baghdad, in a series of raids in the villages of Ar Rutba, Al-Qaim, Anah and Rawa," interview reads.
