Alarmingly,
a number of the images appear to have been uploaded by British fighters
who have travelled to the war-torn countries to wage jihad.
One
Twitter user, who goes by the name Abu Farris, posted a picture of a
child in a balaclava appearing to operate a machine gun mounted on the
back of a truck.
The accompanying message reads: 'Abul Farooq 7 yr old kid with his dad in dawlah. He's soooo cute!!'
Meanwhile, another fighter Abu Turaab has uploaded a photo of a toddler being held by a man with a machine gun slung over his shoulder.
