LONDON: A new propaganda video released by Islamic State depicts five boys, one of them apparently British, executing Kurdish prisoners.

The children, who are dressed in military-type camouflage gear and appear to be no older than 13, are shown pointing handguns into the air and shouting in Arabic.

The five are identified as being British, Egyptian, Kurdish, Tunisian and Uzbek.

In the video, which was released Friday, each is seen to make a short statement in Arabic before executing the prisoner in front of them.

The prisoners, who are wearing orange jumpsuits, are all identified as Kurdish.

The U.K. Foreign Office has not verified the identity of the British child, who is described as white with blue eyes, the BBC reported.
