THAT'S ISLAM: ISIS Carries Out Terror Attack In Chechnya Using Children As Young As 11-Years-Old

The Islamic State’s Amaq News Agency has released a video showing four young males, including a boy and three other children or teenagers, who were allegedly responsible for terrorist attacks in Chechnya yesterday. 

The self-declared caliphate previously claimed responsibility for the incidents, which targeted police forces. 

Amaq’s video is intended to underscore that Islamic State loyalists, albeit children or teenagers, were responsible. FDD’s Long War Journal cannot independently confirm that the four males seen in the video were responsible for the operations in Chechnya. 

But the video is similar to a string of other short productions released by the Islamic State since mid-2016. 

In addition, Chechen authorities have said that all four of the assailants were younger than 17, with the youngest being just 11-years-old. […] There are only sketchy details regarding what transpired in Chechnya. 

According to the Russian news agency TASS, at least one police officer was killed and several others were wounded during three attacks. One or two of the assailants used their vehicle, a Mercedes, to run over policemen in Grozny. 

Two others, armed with knives, assaulted police in the town of Shali. And at least one member of the terror team attempted to blow himself up at a police checkpoint in the village of Mesker-Yurt. 

Chechen authorities also quickly blamed the Islamic State’s “special programs to brainwash teenagers” for the raids.
