Boy,13 narrates how he was taught how to behead at ISIS camp(Photos)

A 13-year-old Yazidi boy has revealed how ISIS brutes took over his school and turned his class into mini-jihadists – teaching them how to behead non-believers.

Taha Jalo Murad said the terror group tried to indoctrinate him and his classmates into becoming Islamic extremists.

The boys were taught Sharia Law, the Koran and were told precisely where to hold the knife on the neck during a beheading.After instruction they were forced practise on fellow pupils at the front of the class in mock executions.Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Taha said: 

They taught us how to cut peoples heads off - they taught us which arteries of the neck are best to cut.'

Taha's ordeal began when ISIS took over his school in Kocho village, in the Sinjar Mountains, northern Iraq.They ransacked the village and lined up Yazidi men and women in separate lines.The men were taken to the outskirts of the village, made to lay on the floor and shot. 

'I was separated from my father. I do not know if he is alive or dead,'They told us we want to make an army to open Rome…[and] we will control the West and America,' Taha said.

And all the time, the uniformed boys were reminded of their 'devil worshipping' past as Yazidi - and the fact their parents were now their enemy.

'They told us Yazidis are infidels and you don't have to go back to them…[and] if you find your parents and they have not converted to Islam, kill them.

We were terrified, and didn't want to use the weapons - but if we didn't, we would be beaten,' Taha said.

The boys were taught how to behead the 'infidels' in lessons which involved a student holding a 'blunt knife' while another enacted the role of his victim.

'They told us any infidel has to be beheaded,''It was so bad. What is the benefit of killing innocents? It was awful, scary. I was depressed, I didn't want to do these things. I cried.'

But Taha and his friends still dreamed of escape, and were willing to risk their lives in order to be free once more.In April - more than six months after they were first captured - that chance finally came, when Taha was allowed to visit his uncle's family, who lived on the outskirts of the city.

Sensing this might be their only opportunity, Taha and three members of his family fled. 

Taha finally found safety in the Rwanga refugee camp in Dohuk, northern Iraq. His friends in the school have not been so lucky, and he is in little doubt of what the warped extremists have in store for them - to be used in the group's twisted fight against the world. 

Some boys of Taha's age have been sent on suicide missions with bombs strapped around their waist.
