ISIS brutally murder boy, 4, with remote-controlled explosives just one week after killing his father

Militants fighting for the Islamic State in northern Iraq have brutally murdered a four-year-old with explosives just a week after executing his father, it has been claimed.

Anti-ISIS activists working in the terror group’s Al-Shirqat district stronghold said the extremists attached the explosives to the helpless child in such a way “that his organs would be blown apart”.

Speaking to the Iraqi news networkAl Sumaria, Jabar el-Maamour - a spokesman and senior official in the state-sponsored Popular Mobilisation militant group – said he was revealing details of the savage murder as a way of condemning ISIS’ supporters and fundraisers.

According to el-Maamour, the boy’s violent death came just a week after his father was murdered having being found guilty of a December attack on an ISIS checkpoint that killed two jihadis.
