Horror! Mum Sees Kidnapped Son For First Time In A Year...On ISIS Website

The last time Lidia Herrera saw her son was in November last year when she gave him to his father before leaving home in Italy and going to visit relatives in Cuba.

But instead of babysitting the boy, her estranged husband Ismar Mesinovic instead took his son to Syria where he signed up to fight for ISIS.


And now, a year after the pair went missing, Miss Herrera has seen her son again for the first time as part of an online propaganda campaign for the terror group.

Wearing a black headband inscribed with Arabic writing and with a tiny AK-47 rifle slung around his neck, Miss Herrera says this is her three-year-old son Ismail.
Walking through a muddy and battle-scarred landscape the boy clutches the hand of a man whose face is not pictured.

While it is not known when exactly the image was taken, this man is unlikely to be the boy's father as he is believed to have been killed during fighting in September.

Speaking to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Miss Herrera said: 'That child is Ismail. I pray every day that he will be brought back to me.

'I hope that he will come back here beside me. I think only of him, only him.'
