(IraqiNews.com) A 14-year-old boy from Norway has been found fighting in Iraq against the ISIS group militants, Norway’s TV2 channel reported on Monday.

TV2 channel reported that Hussein Abbas, a Norwegian citizen from Sagerne, Oslo, is fighting on the front line in Iraq as part of the Iraqi Volunteer Forces, known as Shia militia of al-Hashed al-Sha’bi.

The boy’s father, Abbas al-Asadi, said, “I have Norwegian citizenship. I came here after receiving orders to participate in jihad from the highest religious leader. Iraq stands united. We cannot think of the individual person.”
