The Islamic State, who maintain control of the area, rounded up the 13 youngsters and performed a public execution using a firing squad armed with machine guns as claimed by anti-ISIS activist group ‘Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently’, reports the Daily Mail.
Tensions between Jordan and Iraq are notably high with Jordanian leaders worried that their neighbouring country has become a harbour for terrorist groups with Jordan even reportedly helping the US to track down Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
According to anti-ISIS activist groups’ website the bodies remain in the open for passersbys to see as parents of the deceased are too fearful to collect their bodies.
