A video showing a soldier removing
a suicide belt from a terrified seven-year-old boy has emerged and it’s
incredibly moving, AhlulBayt
News Agency report.
The video which has been released
by the Iraqi army shows a courageous soldier in Mosul, Syria, ordering a
frightened child to raise his arms while he disarms the lethal bomb.
The moving footage shows the
soldier taking off the shaken boy’s t-shirt and asking him to hold still, while
he tackles the suicide belt.
After advising the boy to ‘keep
your arms up son’ the soldier unravels a bandage which is wrapped around
the little boy’s waist, to reveal the set of explosives strapped to his torso.
The boy who is clearly terrified,
exclaims ‘no, no uncle,’ as the soldier reveals the detonator attached to the
child’s body.
Remaining calm and focused in a
fraught situation, the soldier tries to calm the stricken boy down.
He says:
“Don’t worry son. I will not harm
you.”
He then clips the wire, safely
disarming the bomb before it could kill the young boy and potentially many
others.
“ISIS strapped explosives around this little boys (7) waist. Iraqi soldiers
disarmed him after he fled from Mosul.”

The clip ends with the soldier
unfastening the remainder of the boy’s belt and gingerly laying it on the
ground away from the affected child.
It is thought the boy was found
with a group of refugees, standing alone and clutching his stomach in fright.
An incredible act of bravery from
the Iraqi army’s part and thank god they got to the boy in time.
