ISIS kidnaps 140 Kurdish schoolboys to 'brainwash' them into becoming suicide bombers
The pupils, aged from 14 to 16, are being held hostage in the
ISIS-controlled city of Manbij in Syria, where they are being forced to
take lessons in radical Islamic theology. One 15-year-old boy, known as
Mohammed, said masked militants made him watch a video of fighters
beheading a man - then warned he would face the same fate if he tried to
escape. Despite the barbaric threat, he and a friend found the courage
to escape after creating a diversion, climbing a fence and running to
safety. His account comes days after a human rights group revealed how
ISIS militants waging war in Iraq (inset) and Syria are recruiting
children for roles ranging from soldiers and snipers to stretcher
bearers and suicide bombers.
