Daesh Uses Izadi Children in Iraq as Bombers




BAGHDAD (Dispatches) – The Daesh terrorist group is reportedly brainwashing abducted Izadi children in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul into becoming potential bombers to carry out counterattacks against government forces and allies.
Scores of Izadi children, who have been displaced from their hometowns in the northwestern Sinjar area, are now being trained in a Daesh terror training camp to conduct bombings, Arabic-language Shafaq news agency reported.
A video footage recently published by the extremists 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 Daesh 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, Daesh terrorists 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.
Around 3,500 Izadi Kurds are being held captive in Daesh-held areas, and a large proportion of the abductees are women and children, the Office of Kidnapped Affairs in the northern Iraqi city of Duhok says.
Meanwhile, Daesh terrorists have kidnapped more than a dozen civilians from an area in the embattled western province of Anbar.
Muayyad Farhan told Arabic-language al-Sumaria television network on Wednesday that Daesh terrorists abducted 16 people as they were travelling on a road linking Ar Rahaliyah town to the provincial capital city of Ramadi, situated about 110 kilometers west of Baghdad.
Farhan then called on the Baghdad government to adopt proper measures aimed at securing the lives of Ar Rahaliyah residents.
Gruesome violence has plagued the northern and western parts of Iraq ever since Daesh terrorists mounted an offensive there more than two years ago, and took control of portions of Iraqi territory.
