Iraq stops would-be child bomber for ISIS
August 24, 2016
A boy stands shaking in the street. Fear etched across his face. Two men flank him on either side as a third rips through the boy's Barcelona football shirt to reveal what appears to be an explosive belt.

The Iraqi security officers grip the boy tightly. A small slip of the hand and the boy could reach the trigger and all four would die.

This was the dramatic moment Iraqi police stopped Hussein, a 15-year-old suspected in a suicide bombing attempt for ISIS in the Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Sunday.
