al-Qaeda Child Terrorists-in-Training Video
The U.S. military said disturbing video that shows masked boys brandishing guns was an al Qaeda in Iraq training and recruiting tool."Al Qaeda in Iraq wants to poison the next generation of Iraqis," said Rear Adm. Gregory Smith during a Baghdad news conference about the release of the tape.
The video, he said, showed boys, "many below age 11" being used "to produce the next generation of al Qaeda."
According to CNN.com, Rear Admiral Gregory Smith claims that many of the boys were aged younger than eleven. He believes that the training camps are raising their next generation of al-Qaeda.
When I viewed the images, a chill ran down my spine as I noticed that they were literally laden with all types of weaponry, including AK-47s, pistols and grenade launchers, other automatic weapons and suicide vests.
They literally look and sound like mini-terrorists as they shout at the camera through their black hoods in their own language. However, with all those weapons, their size is irrelavent - the bullets are just as fatal coming from these children, as they would be coming from adults with their fingers wrapped firmly around triggers.
Al Qaeda often refers to the children as the new generation of the mujahedeen," Smith said, using the Arabic term for holy warriors. "We've also seen evidence of al Qaeda entering schools, disseminating propaganda and no doubt terrorizing the children and their teachers."
In the movie we see these young terrorists-in-training, pull a cyclist from his bike; search a car with passengers inside and clear a building - all the while yelling like out of control children - which of course is a literal description of what I saw.
Where on G-d's green Earth is the United Nations?
Where are all the human rights groups and activists?
Where is CAIR?
And my last question:
Don't those children in the hoods, look very white to you where you're able to see their skin? Or is it just my perception?
