Saudi Arabia: Six-year-old boy dragged from taxi & beheaded in front of his screaming mother!

The mother was asked if she was Shia moments before attack

Newsroom February 11 11:20

 

The first pictures have emerged of a six-year-old boy who was beheaded with a shard of glass in front of his screaming mother in Saudi Arabia.

Zakaria Al-Jaber was in a taxi with his mother, on their way to the shrine of the Prophet Muhammad in Medina, when a car drove up and the boy was dragged out.

The taxi driver reportedly dragged the boy towards a coffee shop in the Al-Tilal area before smashing a glass bottle and slitting his throat.

The attacker slit the six-year-old’s throat with a shard of glass before stabbing him repeatedly as both his mother and a nearby police officer attempted to stop the brutal attack, TMV reported.

Sajid Hussain shared pictures of the boy on Twitter, calling for ‘justice’ and saying: ‘Smallest coffins are the heaviest’.
