(CNN)An English-speaking child, and a British-sounding militant who brings to mind ISIS' previous propagandist, 'Jihadi John,' appear in the latest, chilling propaganda video from ISIS.
In
the video, which has not yet been independently verified, the child
says that the group will kill "kuffar' -- nonbelievers -- "over there,"
referring to the West, while the adult threatens and insults British
Prime Minister David Cameron.
The
speaker's accent and dress bring to mind the previous -- masked -- face
of the terror group, Mohammed Emwazi, otherwise known as "Jihadi John."
Emwazi was understood to have been killed in Raqqa late last year in an
airstrike which specifically targeted the Briton. His absence lends credence to Western intelligence agencies' belief that he is indeed dead.
Five
men appear at the beginning of the video, confessing to spying on
behalf of the British. Much of the video is taken up with the five
speaking, looking directly into the camera. Most of the men say they are
from Raqqa, the de facto capital of ISIS' territory in Iraq and Syria.
The video was purportedly shot there.
A spokesperson for the British Foreign Office says that it is "aware" of the video and is examining its content.
Following
the confessions, the five are then seen kneeling in the desert, each
with a masked militant standing behind them. The middle militant then
addresses Cameron, speaking in a British accent.
