Elderly ISIS terrorist pictured with grinning jihadi grandson on the battlefields of Syria as they wage war on the West
83-year-old geriatric jihadi poses with grandson while doing ISIS salute
ELDERLY ISIS jihadi Muhammed Amin has been captured on camera with his grinning teenage grandson - who has also joined the murderous terror group.
The 83-year-old terrorist proudly poses with the boy, named as 15-year-old Mohammed by pro-Kurdish Twitter accounts, as the pair perform the jihadi one finger salute. The granddad is also clutching a handgun.
Amin is said to have once been a member of the minority Muslim Uighur in Xinjiang, an autonomous territory in China once known as Turkestan, and is believed to have left his home country with his family after seeing a video of his jihadi son being killed in Syria.
The sickening picture was tweeted by Terrormonitor, an organisation which tracks terrorism worldwide.

The traditional one-finger salute relates to a Muslim prayer: "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his Prophet" and has been adopted by jihadis, who follow a twisted interpretation of Islam.
Last year Amin - believed to be the terror group's oldest fighter - featured in a propaganda video released by the extremists in which he said: "I was subjected to oppression in Turkestan at the hands of the Chinese... for 60 years.
"I made hijrah (religious journey) accompanied by my four grandsons, my daughter and my wife."
He added: "I came to Islamic State and went to training camp despite my old age. I went to training camp and I crawled, I ran and I rolled.
"I did almost everything and ended training camp well. After receiving a weapon I asked permission to participate in battle, but he didn't give me permission so I am presently in ribat (base)."
The jihadi, who says he was a imam in China, says Muslims face oppression in his home country.
In 2015, Chinese officials claimed Muslims from Xinjiang were travelling to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS - before returning home to take part in plots against the communist rule.
