Several days ago, a photo of an 8-year-old Syrian rebel standing in front of heaps of rubble with an AK-47 slung over his shoulder went viral on the Internet. The child appears to be smoking and is looking directly at the camera, though he seems to have little interest in it.
“It’s a picture that is both haunting and heartbreaking,” the Huffington Postwrote.
Now the U.K. Telegraph has tracked down the child, and his story is even more gut-wrenching that you may have imagined.
