A new video released by the Islamic State (IS) reportedly shows a "mini Jihadi John" executing an alleged spy with a 9mm automatic pistol.

It shows the 14-year-old loading the gun as his victim, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, kneels on ground. The teenager, who is shown dressed in black with an IS logo on his chest, then shoots the man dead and makes a statement to the United States, Russia and Europe vowing to wage terror on a global scale, reported The Daily Star.

This is not the first time IS has employed a young boy to carry out an execution alongside British executioner, Mohammed Emwazi or Jihadi John.

 

Iraqi terror expert Nasser Kataw contended that the jihadists drugged its young killers to make them look brave.

The IS is known to give fighters doses of the anti-anxiety drug Zolam, which they have seized from looted hospitals, so they do not back out of their deadly suicide missions.
