(AhlulBayt News Agency) - The Takfiri ISIS terrorist group is reportedly brainwashing dozens of abducted Izadi children into becoming potential bombers to carry out counterattacks against advancing government forces and allies in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
According to propaganda video footage recently published by the extremists, scores of Izadi children, who have been displaced from their hometowns in the northwestern Sinjar area, are now being trained in a ISIS terror training camp to conduct bombings, Arabic-language Shafaq news agency reported.
The footage shows two young Izadi brothers moments before they carry out an assault against Iraqi soldiers in an unspecified neighborhood of eastern Mosul, located some 400 kilometers north of the capital, Baghdad.
One of the brothers, identified as Amjad Abu Yousef al-Sinjari, says in Kurdish that they received training at the camp before registration in ISIS lists of bombers.
The other brother, named As’ad Abu Khattab, says they come from Tell Qababeh village of Sinjar.
The video furthers shows the moment that the two are killed in a bombing against Iraqi troops.
Back in August 2014, ISIS militants overran Sinjar, killing, raping, and enslaving large numbers of Izadi Kurds. The town was later recaptured on November 13, 2015, during a two-day operation by Peshmerga forces and Izadi fighters.
The Office of Kidnapped Affairs in the northern Iraqi city of Duhok says around 3,500 Izadi Kurds are being held captive in ISIS-held areas, and a large proportion of the abductees are women and children.
