14-year-old boy kills 50 in tragic ISIS suicide bombing

The young boy is said to be one of ISIS' cubs.

A teenage boy blew up himself near a village by northern Syria, killing about 50 Kurdish militiamen in the attack. Recent posts, on official media channels of the terrorist Islamic State group, claim the boy was one of their young soldiers fighting for them. Fanatics of the extremist group were celebrating online after the offensive attack they consider "martyrdom" by the young boy.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Daily Mail reported that some ISIS supporters posted on social media messages like, "This lion of the khilafah [caliphate] has killed over 50 PKK murtadeen [one who opposes religion]... May Allah accept him in the ranks of the Shuhadah [martyrs]."

ISIS official channels released a picture of the young boy wearing a military vest, carrying a Kalashnikov rifle and posed with the ISIS salute. They called him Abu Khattab al-Ansari, but online fanatics identified his real name as Omar Hadid al-Muhammadi, 14. The teen drove a truck full of explosives to a military checkpoint in Hasakah on the night of July 6.

"They make a big point of showing off about it too by sharing martyrdom pictures and showing videos of military training. For someone who is completely committed to Islamic State ideology, a hardcore supporter of jihadism and the caliphate, killing themselves in a suicide operation is the greatest honour they can receive," said Charlie Winter of think-tank Quilliam in a statement with the outlet.

Last month, the Islamic State uploaded videos and photos of young boys undergoing extensive and harsh military training supervised by their militia. These young boys, dubbed the cubs of the Caliphate, pose with weapons under the terrorist's flag, worrying human rights activists all over the globe.

ISIS claims the suicide bombing was part of a larger attack against a PKK Kurdish troop near the Syrian-Turkish border.
