#27 Taliban Recruiting Children for Dirty Work

The Taleban and Al-Qaida have stooped to a new level, allowing for a 12 year old boy to decapitate a "traitor." The incident occurred in Pakistan, which is rapidly proving to be one of - if not the single largest - hotbed for Islamic terrorist recruits.

The footage shows Nabi making what is described as a confession, being blindfolded with a checkered scarf. "He is an American spy. Those who do this kind of thing will get this kind of fate," says his baby-faced executioner, who is not identified. A continuous 2 1/2-minute shot then shows the victim lying on his side on a patch of rubble-strewn ground. A man holds Nabi by his beard while the boy, wearing a camouflage military jacket and oversized white sneakers, cuts into the throat. Other men and boys call out "Allahu akbar!" — "God is great!" — as blood spurts from the wound. The film, overlain with jihadi songs, then shows the boy hacking and slashing at the man's neck until the head is severed.

A Pashto-language voiceover in the video identifies Nabi and his home village of Kili Faqiran in Baluchistan province, which lies about two hours' drive from the Afghan border. A reporter went to the village, and Nabi's distraught and angry father, Ghulam Sakhi, confirmed his son's identity from a still picture that AP made from the footage. He said neighbors had told him the video is available at the village bazaar, but he had no wish to see it.

  1. Fine article on the 12 year old
    Pakistani boy. His Imam taught him to hate, before he was old enough to read, probably with cartoons.

    He also, is a victim. reb
