Lauren Frayer with the Associated Press
reported on al-Qaeda Islamist terror leaders training children for
deadly attack methods.
Video footage shows boys in soccer jerseys putting on black masks
and grabbing up weapons to scramble over walls, blast through doors
and hold guns to their victims.
The U.S. military said videos seized from
suspected al-Qaida in Iraq hideouts show militants training children
who appear as young as 10 to kidnap and kill.
It's viewed as a sign that the terror network - hungry for recruits
- may be using younger Iraqis in propaganda to lure a new crop of
fighters.
"Al-Qaida in Iraq wants to poison the next generation of Iraqis,"
said Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, a U.S. military spokesman.
"It is offering children as the new generation of mujahedeen," he
added, using the Arabic term for holy warriors.
The video, shown to reporters Wednesday, depicted an apparent
training session with black-masked boys - ammunition belts draped
across their small chests - forcing a man off his bicycle at
gunpoint and marching him off down a muddy lane.
An off-camera voice with an Iraqi accent instructs children to take
firing positions with assault rifles…[later] boys huddle in a circle
on a cement floor, solemnly pledging allegiance to al-Qaeda.
Young children are rarely behind insurgent attacks in Iraq,
though…in March, police said children were used in a car bombing in
which the driver gained permission to park in a busy shopping area
after pointing out that he was leaving his kids in the back seat.
The children were killed along with three Iraqi bystanders.
The military said the videos - seized in a December raid in Khan
Bani Saad northeast of Baghdad - were filmed in Iraq and depicted
Iraqi children.
If you heard about this in 1988, just 20
years ago, would it not be absolutely horrifying and mind-numbing in
its moral decadence – training children to hate and kill?
Such is the “slouching toward Gomorrah” effect of moral decline,
that more than 10,000 killing acts of jihad terrorism since
September 11, 2001 alone has numbed our senses.
It is the moral degeneracy of Islamist Muslims, the devolution to
such barbaric lows – training children to love the orgy of violence,
jihad lust, warping their morals to think it good.
