ISIS leaders are said to have been planning to use the children in ruthless mass murders as the terrorist organisation planned an attempt to counteract the assault on the city of Mosul by forces.
The mission undertaken by the SAS took place three weeks ago as part of a larger planned assault on the besieged city.
The children were saved after a sniper took out the ISIS commander and some 30 militants are believed to have been killed in the ensuing skirmish.
