AhlulBayt News Agency - An informed source in Nineveh Province announced on Tuesday, that the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) beheaded a boy east of Mosul (405 km north of Baghdad) on charges of having obscene pictures and songs on his cell phone.



The source said in a press statement “This morning, ISIS slaughtered a boy named Ayham with a knife in Nabi Younis area east of Mosul, on charges of having obscene pictures and songs on his cell phone.”



The source, who asked anonymity, added, “The execution was carried out after arresting the boy 20 days ago in Nabi Yunis market,” noting that, “ISIS members delivered the child’s body to his family with his head separated from his body.”



Ayham was detained by ISIS operatives as he sat inside a shop owned by his father in an open-air market in western Mosul. The boy was beaten and tried in a local sharia court, which sentenced him to be executed.



“The boy was executed by beheading in a town square in the center of the city,” a source told Kurdish media.



The execution shocked and angered Mosul residents, some of whom staged a protest at the home of the victim’s family.
