The ISIL Takfiri terrorist group has blown up a baby in order to teach its members the booby-trapping mechanisms during a training mission.

They “brought a baby, the son of a civilian [who] was executed a few weeks ago… in one of [their] training camps near Sharqat, northern Salahuddin... booby-trapped and blew up the child in front of dozens of ISIL militants by a remote,” Sadiq al-Husseini, chairman of the security committee in Diyala provincial council, was quoted as saying by Iraqi News Agency on Sunday.

It was a training mission for ISIL members to learn the booby-trapping mechanisms, said Husseini, adding that the terrorist group “does not care for the most basic human values.”

The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by violence ever since Takfiri ISIL militants began their march through the Iraqi territory in June 2014.

The terrorist group has gained notoriety for its barbarity, heinous atrocities, and sacrilegious acts. The ISIL militants have been accused of committing gross human rights violations and war crimes in areas they control in Syria, Iraq, and Libya.

Muslim scholars maintain that the ISIL Takfiri terrorists serve a colonial agenda that has nothing to do with Islam.
