ISIS 'crucifies, decapitates children, buries them alive'

(ANSA) - Rome, February 5 - Islamic State (ISIS) militants systematically kill, torture and rape children and families belonging to minority groups in Iraq, the United Nations said Thursday.
    In many cases the children are subject to mass killings but also crucified, decapitated and buried alive, according to a report by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. In light of the findings the committee called on the Iraqi government to step up efforts to protect children and their families.
