ISIS teenage 'Cub of the Caliphate' kills his entire family after his suicide belt accidentally goes off at home in Mosul
2016-11-25
A teenager who had been recruited by the Islamic State in Mosul killed the whole of his six-member family when his explosive belt went off inside their home east of the city.
Once again indicating that the jihadi's family knows what's going on, even if they don't admit it.
Three children were reportedly among those killed by the unnamed boy's explosive device.
And the three kids apparently aren't admitting anything, either.
The boy, who belonged to the so-called 'Cubs of the Caliphate' squad, had been given the suicide belt by other members of the terror group, Alsumaria News reports.

He put the device on and went back to his home in the al-Wehda district of Mosul, where it later exploded, a source told the news channel.

'The teenager's belt exploded inside his home. It appeared later that all of his family, including three children, were killed,' said the source, on condition of anonymity.
Apparently they need to put the warning not to head home before heading out to their target closer to the beginning of the Kiddie Jihadi Manual.
The man said Islamic State regularly recruits teenagers to wear explosive devices, especially in eastern Mosul.
Does that still come with a plastic key that will open the gates of Heaven when they get there?
'It comes as part of ISIS strategy to strengthen its grip on the ground and intimidate the people,' he added.
These kids need to start pushing the button two seconds after their handlers finish strapping the thing on them.

Both steadfast Islamic adherents:
"The good is... I'm martyred!
The bad..." (only part heard)
"... you won't spend my prize or insurance."

#6  Me thinks this device the kid was wearing had a command detonation function buried in it and he didn't go straight to his target so when his handler hit the button...Oops
