A new video released by ISIS shows what the terror group is calling its newest generation of fighters and suicide bombers. Thirteen minutes long, the video shows dozens of young boys declaring their ambition to become ‘martyrs’ for their religion, and going through training exercises.
It was released late Tuesday by ISIS’ Deir e-Zour province in Syria and has since circulated hundreds of times on ISIS social media channels, Vocativ has found. In the short film, boys are shown studying in an ISIS-approved religious institute.

Scenes from the popular Arabs Got Talent show feature in the video. – READ MORE
