Syria FSA militants force children to join them in battle

Despite prohibition by international law on the recruitment of children as combatants, the foreign-backed militants in Syria force minors to join them in the battle against the Syrian government, a report says.


The militants train the children how to handle a weapon, how to disarm an enemy or kill him with a knife or even bare hands.

"When they arrive here, they are children. By the time they leave, they are killing machines," said Abdel Razzaq, a militant.

Several amateur videos have shown child soldiers fighting against Syrian military forces in flashpoint cities across the country.

The videos also show children being forced to dig their own graves before joining the militants.
