A United Nations official has said that Islamic State (IS) militants have opened up two English speaking schools in Syria to teach their jihadi children how to blend in to "easily spread terror" while visiting other countries.
According to the New York Post, the official said that these people start off as "mini-jihadists" and grow up to become "adult jihadists".
The official also said, under the condition of anonymity, that the children who live in Raqqa are being targeted and are taught to become jihadists.
A picture of the advertisement was posted on Twitter by the activist group "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently" that shows that the militants are trying harder to transform the children into Islamic thugs.
