‘Doomsday’ movement grips youth in the Middle East

A cabal of teens. A secret ceremony. A ritualistic raffle. Then a human sacrifice.
It’s not an American Bible-belt cult.
It’s a growing “doomsday” movement among Middle Eastern youth.
Five youths took their own lives in disturbing rituals in the Iraqi governorate of Wasit last month, the Iraqi National Security Services reports. A similar spate took place in Iraq and Lebanon early last year.
“This is not a scene from a Hollywood movie,” says Atlantic Council think-tank analyst Sarah Zaaimi.
Instead, it’s a “worrying phenomenon” linked to a Judgement-day sect called Jamaat al-Qurban (Brotherhood of Offerings).
