A group of children in Yemen have attempted to burn a 10-year-old boy to death after first locking him in a cage in a shocking imitation of the Islamic State’s murder of a Jordanian pilot.
As many as seven boys are believed to have attacked the yet unnamed victim in Al Dahthath village in the country’s northern Ibb province, according to Daily Mail UK.
The helpless child was thrown in a wooden cage, had petrol poured over his body before being set alight. Thankfully a group of locals spotted the attack and managed to save the boy’s life, although he was still left with horrific burn injuries on his legs.
During the attack, the boys are said to have assumed different terrorist roles, with the ‘leader’ sitting in a chair and giving orders to his friends.
“The villagers took him to a local hospital where he received treatment for burns to one of his legs,” Mr. Mouzahem, a local said.
News of the attack is coming just weeks after video emerged showing a group of young Yemeni boys reenacting the brutal murder of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by Islamic State militants in Libya. The grainy mobile phone footage was reportedly filmed somewhere on the Gulf coast in Yemen.
