ICC Note:

Iraqi forces released a video showing them disarming a young boy wearing a suicide vest. The boy was walking in a group of refugees evacuating war-torn Mosul and raised suspicion as he walked alone holding his stomach. ISIS is continually reported to be brainwashing children not only as suicide bombers, but as executioners as well. In the past, ISIS has released videos of these children executing and killing Christians and other prisoners.

3/27/2017 Iraq (Christian Post) – A new video shows Iraqi forces disarming a suicide vest worn by a boy, who appears to be about 7 years old and was thought to be part of a group of families that fled Mosul in northern Iraq.

The video, uploaded to video-sharing site LiveLeak and which is yet to be verified, shows an army bomb expert carefully cutting through the device’s trigger and releasing him in an area outside Mosul, according to the U.K.’s Daily Star newspaper.

Security forces found the boy hiding among families that were fleeing the besieged Islamic State-held city of Mosul.

The video also shows a soldier explaining that the boy was sent by his uncle with instructions to target the army.
