This is the dramatic moment a Syrian boy escaped from Isis - by volunteering as a suicide bomber and then handing himself in at the mosque he was meant to blow up.
Now we know that not all those under treats loses out ..just like this guy did....
all the way from mailonline came this report about this chap who's said shown extreme level of braveness.....see more details after the cut...
in the news, Usaid Barho had a bomb vest strapped to his body before travelling to a Shi'ite mosque in Baghdad, Iraq where he was supposed to detonate the explosive device. But rather than killing himself and countless others, he took the brave decision to defy his orders by unzipping his jacket and handing himself in to guards standing nearby.
Video footage shows by mailonline revealed the tense moment an officer gently removes part of the deadly equipment (left and centre) strapped to his body in front of stunned onlookers. He had reportedly walked up to the gates of the mosque in the Bayaa district of Baghdad before telling guards he did not want to blow himself up. The bomb vest is pictured right after it was
The newspaper describes how he was taken to a training camp before being given a choice of becoming a fighter or a suicide bomber. He chose the latter hoping he could immediately surrender.
The teenager reportedly said: 'I raised my hand to be a suicide bomber.
'If I were a fighter and tried to surrender to security forces they might kill me, with my gun in my hand.'
Usaid was reportedly transferred from one Isis operative to another as he made his journey towards the mosque before he was finally given his target and informed of his target.
It is believed that the teenager is currently being held at an Iraqi intelligence site. see video below
Earlier this month, experts revealed how Islamic State sees children as central to its plans for a caliphate in the Middle East and encouraged fighters to indoctrinate them to a life of violence from an early age
In a report on children and ISIS, a spokesman for the Middle Eastern Media Research institute (MEMRI) said: 'Children are central to ISIS; they are the future generation of the defenders of the caliphate and they will continue its legacy.
'ISIS children receive military training, both in camps conducted by the organisation and individually, with ISIS fighters.
Now let's hope he becomes an inspiration to other people in a similar situation. He's braver for handing himself in!
