A number of media sites point to a new heightened twist to the ISIS killers terror campaign of murder against civilians in Syria, even children. Toys have been rigged with bombs to target small children from the Shia community. Iraqi security forces seized and destroyed at least 18 doll-bombs scattered on the road between Baghdad and Karbala where an annual pilgrimage takes place to mark the anniversary of Imam Hussein’s death.

The toys have been inserted with explosives and then reassembled and dressed.
