New ISIS Video Shows A Child Soldier Executing Two Russian Spies Who Infiltrated Its Ranks
In the Islamic State's latest filmed execution, a child soldier from Kazakhstan is seen executing two Russian-speaking men accused of working for the Russian Federal Security Service. The video, which appears to be staged, is directed at audiences in Russia and Russian-speaking Central Asian countries where ISIS is said to be gaining a foothold.
Cover image via HuffPostThe Islamic State has released a brand new propaganda video. Titled Uncovering The Enemy Within, the seven and a half-minute long video purports to show a child, who appears to be an ethnic Kazakh, executing two men identified as Russian "spies".

The footage was released by ISIS' media arm Alhayat Media Center, and is already being called fake by online viewers, VICE News reported. The production style of the video, released on 13 January 2015, has all the makings of a mediocre television series.

The child, who calls himself Abdullah, first appeared in a video released in November 2014, NYMag reported. There, he explains that he is at an ISIS training camp for kids, learning Arabic and various military skills. His goal, he tells his interviewer, is to grow up to execute non-believers on behalf of the Islamic State.

SAYS cannot verify the authenticity of the footage which features the confessions of two men who say they were recruited to spy on ISIS by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation
The first alleged Russian Security Service agent gives his name as Mamayev Jambulat Yesenjanovich. Aged 39, he says he is from Kazakh. He claims he was "blackmailed" by the Russian agency to gain access to an unnamed top ISIS leader and steal information from a computer he said the leader uses while in Turkey.
The second alleged Russian Security Service agent gives his name as Ashimov Sergey Nikolayavich. Aged 31, and also known by his Arabic name, Abdullah Abu Suleiman, he says he is Russian. He claims the FSB sent him to assassinate a top ISIS leader in Syria.
The video then shows a gun-wielding ISIS fighter, who speaks Russian, and the boy standing over the Russian "spies," who are on their knees with their hands tied and wearing gray jumpsuits
After an introductory statement by the bearded man, the young "cub of the Khilafah," or caliphate, then purportedly shoots the men in the head as the camera lingers on his gun in slow motion

Abdullah is one of hundreds of children being raised under ISIS rule. Many of the kids may not remember a life before the battle-hardened world they now live in. And the video, it is more than just propaganda, it's a chilling reminder of the level of low ISIS can go in perpetuating its twisted belief in the name of religion.
