THIS shocking video purports to show a terrified young boy in a Chelsea kit wearing a BOMB VEST during a suicide mission for ISIS.

The footage, posted on social media, claims to show a soldier disarming and removing the bomb while the young boy stands on the side of the road.

3 The young boy holds his arms up in the air while the Iraqi specialist is said to be deactivating the bomb

3 The video was shared on social media along with a caption saying the boy blamed "uncle" for rigging up the explosive

3 The Sun Online has been unable to independently verify the footage

The video was said to have been recorded on March 18 after the child was pointed out to coalition forces by fleeing civilians.

It was also claimed he was aged just six or seven - and a man referred to as "uncle" had attached the deadly vest to him.

Although The Sun Online has been unable to verify the authenticity of the footage, it does corroborate with recent reports of the depraved jihadis' increasingly desperate tactics.

ISIS has for several years indoctrinated young boys in its Cubs of the Caliphate training camps.

But it has also resorted to using coaxing the extremely young and extremely old into carrying out 'martyr missions' in Mosul.

It is believed this is due to the lack of fighting age soldiers now left alive in the war-torn city.

Earlier this month Iraqi soldiers battling ISIS in western Mosul uncovered a train tunnel converted into a training camp for the jihadi terrorists.

The tunnel has tyres for crawling through, ladders and other obstacles to train the ranks of the murderous group.
