The Islamic State terrorist organization has trained over 1,000 children in the last six months to become suicide bombers, according to an Iraqi human rights commission.
"Since last November, IS militants have trained more than a thousand children to become suicide bombers," Fadhil Kharawi, a member of the Iraqi Independent Commission for Human Rights, told reporters in Baghdad on Sunday.
The Kurdish news source BasNews reported that Kharawi also explained to the press that the barbaric militant group opened a "Cubs of the Caliphate" child training center in the group's northern Iraqi stronghold of Mosul, where children are taught suicide bombing tactics, brainwashed with ISIS' cruel ideology, and provided military and combat training for the battlefield.
As The Christian Post previously reported, a major recruiting strategy for the Islamic State has been getting children to join the militant group because they're easier to manipulate than adults.
Although some children may foolishly choose to join the group, many of the trained child soldiers are captured religious minority boys who've been brainwashed to accept ISIS' jihadi-brand of Islam, while mentally challenged children are fooled into joining the ranks and becoming suicide bombers.
