A video has emerged
reportedly showing children at training camps run by the Islamic State firing
machine guns that are almost as big as them.
The footage released
by the terror group shows small children sitting reading from the holy book
before showing a youngster, wearing a ski mask, firing an automatic weapon,
which he struggle to control as he fires it.
It then shows another
boy assembling a weapon, while other children look on in the
background.

It also shows a youngster assembling the weapon, as
children are forced to take lessons in handling weapons

the training camp look on
The video, one of
many made by the group is thought to be an attempt to boast of their young
recruits.
It also shows
youngsters taking an oath pledging an allegiance to the Islamic State and an
even younger boy being asked what he would like to say to infidels.
He replies:
'Infidels.. you are to be killed.'
One boy, who managed
to flee from one of the training camps told CNN how he was just 13 when ISIS tried to recruit
him.
He says that his
father tried to stop him but militias threatened to behead him if he didn't let
his son go.

The footage also shows the children reading and reciting
passages from the Quran
The boy, who has not
been named, eventually went to the camp, where he said they exercised, learned
about the Quran, took courses on weapons, while some were forced to watch
gruesome videos.
He added: 'When we go
to the mosque, they order us to come the next day at a specific time and place
to [watch] heads cut off, lashings or stonings.
'We saw a young man
who did not fast for Ramadan, so they crucified him for three days, and we saw a
woman being stoned [to death] because she committed adultery.'
The boy managed to
escape the camp after his father pulled him out and he and his family fled to
the safety of Turkey.
The jihadists issue their warning in a video yesterday
that the beheadings will continue if the U.S. continues to support the
Kurds
Footage of another fifteen members of Kurdish militia
captured by the brutal jihadists has been released
The Islamic State
also released a decapitation video yesterday threatening America for the second
time and urging the Kurds to break from their alliance with the West against the
caliphate.
It came just hours
after Islamic State released shocking footage of the mass execution of 300
Syrian national army soldiers in the Syrian desert.
The grainy video,
accompanied by the hashtag '2ndAmessagetoAmerica', shows the vicious beheading
of a Kurdish soldier, who was part of a group of 15 fighters likely to have been
captured by Islamic State during the fighting in Iraq.
The group's first
warning ten days ago was entitled 'A Message to America' and showed the
decapitation of American journalist James Foley.
The video comes after
David Cameron announced yesterday that more armed police will patrol Britain’s
streets to counter the threat posed by fanatics returning from Iraq and
Syria.
Extremists have declared a self-styled caliphate, a Sunni
regime ordering its subjects to operate under an extreme form of Sharia
law
Yesterday David Cameron announced that more armed police
will patrol Britain's streets to counter the threat posed by fanatics returning
from Iraq and Syria
He warned that the
return of hundreds of murderous extremists posed a greater threat to our
security than Al Qaeda or the IRA ever did.
His comments came as
Theresa May announced the official terror threat level had been raised to
‘severe’ – the second-highest state – for the first time in three
years.
The extremists have
declared a self-styled caliphate, a Sunni regime ordering its subjects to
operate under an extreme interpretation of Sharia law.
It has opened up
three fronts in the fighting in Syria, which is already home to a bloody and
long-running civil war between President Assad's forces and anti-government
rebels.
