A graphic video recently posted to on the internet appears to show Syrian rebels forcing a child to behead an unarmed prisoner. The footage has left many questioning whether foreign aid will end up in the hands of Islamist extremists and terrorists.
The video shows a child cutting a bound prisoner’s head off with a machete. Militants then display the man’s severed head while chanting "Allahu Akbar," or “God is great.”
It’s the latest in a string of especially grisly incidents, which have become more common in recent months. On Monday, rebels killed 13 soldiers during an ambush of an army unit in a strategic northern town, activists reported.
Syrian warplanes later bombed the town, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.Both sides have played a role in the deaths of over 40,000 people since the uprising against President Bashar Assad began in March 2011.
