The Islamic State has released a
new chilling execution video showing an indoctrinated child jihadi
declaring in English that IS will meet its enemies in the Syrian town
that fighters believe the final apocalyptic battle against the West will
be fought before going on to behead a defenseless prisoner.According to a clip of the 17-minute video published by the Daily Mail, the child, who looks to be as young as 10 years old and is dressed in a gray tunic, leads an adult prisoner dressed in an orange jumpsuit with his hands tied behind his back through a wooded area before forcing him to kneel down in front of him.
The boy then stands behind the prisoner and points his knife to the camera and issues a threat to the United States and IS’ other Western nations.
“Oh America, these are the soldiers you armed and you spent money on to fight the Shariah of Islam,” the boy says in broken English that is somewhat hard to comprehend. “‘We will destroy them as we destroyed the [inaudible] of Iraq. … You can’t escape.”
As the film is believed to have been filmed in the Syrian city of Aleppo, the boy promises in the footage that IS will meet its enemies “on the hills of Dabiq,” the small Syrian town that IS believes will be where the final apocalyptic showdown will occur between Muslims and crusading Christians.
After the boy finishes issuing his extremist threats, he forces the prisoner to the ground and then proceeds to use his sharpened blade to cut off the man’s head.
Mail Online reports that the prisoner was thought to be fighting for an IS opposition militia coalition called the Levant Front rebel faction. In the beginning of the video, the prisoner was forced to give an interview before he was led to the wooded area and decapitated.
