A mother who is grieving the death of her son has said that ISIS killed 250 children by kneading them to death in giant bread machines, while men were baked in huge ovens as part of an attack on Christians in Syria. I’ve read a lot of stories on the unusual techniques ISIS use to torture their victims, but this one definitely tops them all.

Alice Assaf said that her son George was killed after he refused to identify himself with a Muslim name. But she insists that while he was shot and beaten to death, other children have suffered a far more tortuous end.

Assaf describes how ISIS infiltrated their suburb, forcing her and her children to hide in the home of a Muslim neighbour during the massacre. In an interview she said:

Later on, we heard that the militants grabbed six strong men working at the bakery and burned them inside the oven.

After that, they caught some 250 kids and kneaded them like dough in the bakery dough machine.

I hardly think it’s fair to question a woman who has been put through so much distress and torment, but I can’t help but question whether this whole ‘kneaded to death’ thing is real. Are they saying that a giant kneading tool was used to mash these kids up into a gluteny ball? And where did they even get these giant bread machines? That’s far-fetched even by ISIS’s standards.

Then again, they do boil their own soldiers alive, so I guess with these guys anything is possible.
