The barbaric group has killed 38 deformed babies so far, either by lethal injection or suffocation.

The Islamic State (IS) has reached a new low as the terror group has now started attacking new-born children with disabilities.

According to an activist group Mosul Eye, the IS issued an “oral fatwa” to its members authorising them to murder new-born children with Down syndrome and congenital deformities.

The victims of this syndrome were killed by lethal injection or suffocation with some taking place in Syria and Mosul. Reports suggest that most of the babies born with this deformity were the children of foreign fighters.
