boy executing Russian spies, IS video

The latest IS video released by the terrorist organization is supposed to show a boy executing Russian spies, and the two men executed are supposed to be Russian Intelligence Service operatives. In the video both men are questioned about supposed attempts to enter Syria and infiltrate the IS organization, and after the interrogations a boy shoots both men and executes them. This newest release by ISIS is titled Uncovering An Enemy Within, and it is narrated in Russian although the title is in English. The recording starts out with one of the men being interrogated, and the prisoner says that he is a citizen of Kazakh and was trying to get close to an IS fighter after being recruited by the Russian Federal Security Service.

On the IS video which is supposed to show a boy executing Russian spies the second male prisoner does not disclose where he is from, but admits during the interrogation that he was working for the Russian FSB and that his mission was to kill a specific fighter with ISIS. Both of the prisoners told their captors that part of their orders were to gather any information they could about ISIS fighters operating in Syria and transmit it to the Russian security agency. The video then switches to an outdoors scene where a young boy is holding a pistol and there is an adult ISIS fighter with a beard beside the boy. This IS video is the first one to feature an execution by a child, although previous videos have shown children in combat training.
