Islamic State militants strapped a bomb to a four year-old child and blew him up a week after executing the boy’s father.

The heinous crime took place in the Al-Shirqat district north of Salah ad Din province.

Speaking to Alsumaria News, a senior official in the Iraqi national organization the Popular Mobilization Forces, Jabar el-Maamouri, said ISIS exploded “a bomb that was attached to a four-year-old child through a remote-controlled device so that his organs would be blown apart. ISIS executed the boy’s father a week ago who they accused of participating in an attack on one their outposts a month ago that killed two ISIS gunmen.”
