{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A chilling new ISIS execution video shows brainwashed children as young as 8 being forced to shoot prisoners in the head.

The pair aggressively pull back the heads of the captives who they brand as “spies” before the younger of the two starts ranting at the camera.

They then point their guns at the back of their prisoner’s heads and carry out the killing.
Children who are brainwashed with ISIS ideologies and trained to fight and kill for the group are known as “cubs of the caliphate”.
