ISIS trains four-year-old boy to shoot guns, hands sword to behead his own mother
London: Adding to the list of atrocious stories that pour out of the refugee camps in Iraq, it has emerged that a four-year-old Yazidi boy was forced to join a terror camp where he was taught Quran, the Sharia, and even handed a sword to behead his mother.
The Daily Mail reported that the child, youngest of four siblings was taught how to chop off people's head, shoot guns and hate his own people, at an age when most children around the world are just learning to read. It also quoted the child's mother saying that though her son was not forced to carry out the perverted act, she believed that if her son had stayed there any longer, he would have been forced to kill for ISIS.
Speaking from a refugee camp in Dohuk, northern Iraq, the child's mother, Bohar (name changed) said that she and her three other children were captured by ISIS last August from south-east of Sinjar Mountain, and were imprisoned with 2,000 other Yazidis. They were put in prisons in Tal-Afar and Badush in Mosul and later separated.
“In Badush prison ISIS took my eldest daughter and my eldest son who is 12. They took them to Syria,” she said.
Bohar managed to keep her two youngest children - a daughter, 14, and the little boy, Hamo (name changed) - with her as they were shunted between the two cities.
But the ISIS atrocities were innumerable. "In Tala-Afar prison, ISIS put urine in the water tank, and food with glass in it. They wanted to hurt us," she said, adding that things went worse when air strikes began around August. "ISIS fighters beat us very badly, especially when they saw the US airplanes," she explained.
Things went to such a point that they were served one hot meal a day, where the food was laced with morphine to make them feel drowsy and prevent them from escaping.
Bohar and her son were bought by a Syrian man, after which she was sold to another Saudi Arabian fighter called Omar Al-Najde, a high-ranking ISIS commander.
Al-Najde made Bohar work as a servant with two other teenage Yazidi girls, and took Hamo to the jihadi training camp where he was taught to be a jihadi. But later on they escaped.
Bohar and her son are now united with her husband, but her dark days are far from over. "They sold my 14-year-old daughter... I met my son briefly in Raqqa, but he was being beaten because he was rebelling."
