Figure 1.-- ISIS has issued a video of a boy named Abdulah shooting two men with captions in Arabic and English. ISIS claims the two men are Russian 'FSB agents' who were offered money to 'gather information about fighters and send the information to Russia'. Firsrt the video shows the two men 'confesung'. Then the video shows the two men on their knees in the desert with a militant and the young boy who looks to be about 10 years old standing behind them. The militant announces that the men are now 'in the custody of the Lion Cubs of the Caliphate'. The child then steps forward and appears to shoot both men.

We have noted many child victims of the Islamicists. The new year brought another first in Islamic evil--the child executioiner. ISIS issued another 'execution video' (January 13, 2015). It purports to show a 10-year-old boy shooting dead two nealing individuals identified as 'Russian spies'. The video was released through ISIS’ official propaganda outlet al-Hayat Media. ISIS claims that the men were recruited by Russian intelligence”. They have been forced to their knees and the boys approaches from the rear with an automatic postol. The previous day, ISIS released another video showing a young teen ager about 14 years old executing a suicide bombing ahainst Sh'ia in the Iraqi province of Salahuddin. Some experts say that this apparent use of a child as executioner represents 'a departure from past norms' in Islamicist propaganda. The video of the boy shooting the two men has captions in Arabic and English. ISIS claims the two men are 'FSB agents' who were offered money to 'gather information about fighters and send the information to Russia'. Firsrt the video shows the two men 'confesung'.

This samed boy has appeared in earlier ISIS videos. The boy's name is apparently Abdulah. He belongs to a large family tht came from Khasiskstan
