ISIS brides beg for suicide belts so they can end slavery misery

New figures released by Unicef revealed one in five bombers of extremist group Boko Haram, which is aligned to Isis, are children.

Three quarters are girls, many of whom have been kidnapped and forced into marriage.

Some of them were just eight years old. One teen, who managed to escape, said that their only choice was to be selected for a death mission and hope they could find help.

She said: "They would ask: ‘Who wants to be a suicide bomber?’ The girls would shout: ‘Me, me, me.’ They were fighting to do the suicide bombings.

"If they give them a suicide bomb, then maybe they would meet soldiers, tell them: ‘I have a bomb on me’ and they could remove the bomb. They can run away.

"People are afraid because everywhere, if you hear ‘suicide bomb’, it is a young girl.”

The escapee said some of the girls she met included the 200 Nigerian students kidnapped in 2014.

Unicef’s Manuel Fontaine said: "As ‘suicide’ attacks involving children become commonplace, some communities are starting to see children as threats to their safety.”
