5-Year-Old Christian Boy Cut in Half by ISIS Terrorists|By Melissa Barnhart , CP Reporter A 5-year-old boy, whos the son of a founding member of St. Georges Anglican Church in Baghdad, was slaughtered by Islamic State terrorists, better known as ISIS, who cut the boy in half during an attack on the Christian town of Qaraqosh. Im almost in tears because Ive just had somebody in my room whose little child was cut in half, Anglican Canon Andrew White of St. Georges Church told the Anglican Communion News Service Friday. I baptized his child in my church in Baghdad. This little boy, they named him after me — he was called Andrew. Christian refugees who fled to Qaraqosh seeking shelter in the Christian town were forced to flee again by the tens of thousands Thursday as Islamic State forces began invading the peshmerga-controlled regions of the country. The deceased boys parents and brother, George, whos named after the Anglican church in Baghdad, have reportedly fled with other Christians to the city of Arbil where the U.S. consulate is located, which President Barack Obama said would be protected by the U.S. military through targeted airstrikes against Islamic State convoys.
