Iran backed Shiite militias use child-soldiers in fight against ISIS
Breitbart, Aug. 14, 2017 - A Baghdad-sanctioned umbrella organization in Iraq, made up mainly of Iran-backed Shiite militiamen, has trained about 280 child soldiers in the use of weapons, Rudaw has found.
A Shiite cleric has reportedly defended the military training of children in Iraq by Iran-allied fighters.
“These youngsters are taught martial arts and how to use weapons so that they can defend themselves and their areas,” argued Qambar , a Shiite cleric in Kirkuk province’s Bashir village where the training is reportedly taking place.
Fighters from the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), also known as the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) and Hashd al-Shaabi, are participating in U.S.-backed operations against the Islamic State (IShaabi in Iraq.
In November of last year, the Iraqi government legalized the Iran-backed PMF as an official component of the country’s military.
