Iraq stops would-be child bomber for ISIS

(CNN)Dramatic video has emerged of Iraqi police stripping an explosive belt from a child suspected in a suicide bombing attempt for ISIS.

The footage appears to show security personnel restrain a visibly upset boy while they carefully cut the belt from the youth's torso in Kirkuk. Once the belt has been removed, the boy is scooped up and taken away.

Kurdistan 24, a broadcast news station based out of Irbil, Iraq, aired Sunday's capture.

Authorities said they believe the 15-year-old came to Kirkuk a week ago from Mosul, ISIS' most significant stronghold outside Syria.

"He was captured before he reached his destination, which was a Shia mosque," Najmaldin Karim, the governor of Kirkuk Governorate, told CNN. "The security guards noticed there was something wrong, especially that there was another suicide attack a bit earlier, and they captured him."

Karim said the terrorist organization "trained and brainwashed" the boy. "They tell them if they do this, they will go to heaven and have a good time and get everything that they ever wanted," he said.

This can be solved by a bullet to the forehead.

Or, an incineration along with his dad and brothers.

And his mother and sisters if they keep insisting on raising demons.

No quarter. None.

It irks me that the theme of this report is that the kid is not responsible and needs a pass.

I first read that as “rap stops would-be child bomber for ISIS.” It sounded like they played some hip-hop and the kid surrendered on the spot.
