Boy, 12, Beheads Man In Al Qaeda Video

Video Shows Gruesome Training Exercise For Young Militants

(CBS)  This story was written by CBS News producer Farhan Bokhari based in Islamabad, Pakistan, for CBSNews.com.

---

Amid cries of ‘Allah o Akbar’ (god is great), a young boy, barely 12 years old, lifts his machete and strikes at his victim who is lying on the ground, all tied up for the kill.

Waving a ‘V’ for victory sign with his right hand, the boy picks up the severed head and shows it around to the chants of applause from an audience gathered in a remote part of the region straddling the mountainous range which divides Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The performance in this chilling episode which may simply shock most people around the world, is the case of militant justice meted out to supposed traitors. It involves Al Qaeda and the Taliban slapping exemplary punishment to an individual suspected to be a spy for the government.

“This (boy) is a killing machine who has been indoctrinated from age nine and prepared for his act by the time he is 12” says a Pakistani intelligence official who showed the video clip to CBS News as just one piece of evidence of Al Qaeda and the Taliban training young boys to become accomplished killers, even before they become teen-agers.

This video has been captured by Pakistan’s military troops during their operations in the country’s semi autonomous tribal areas, as they went from village to village, searching for militant sanctuaries.

In the village of Spinkai-Roghzai where a group of journalists including CBS News were taken by Pakistan’s military on Sunday in the Waziristan tribal region, officials showed debris of what is described as a suicide training ‘nursery’. Under a pile of bricks lay the remains of an oil extracting factory which was a cover for training young boys to become ideologically charged up.

“There is no harm in taking ‘jehad’ (holy war) for the right cause” read the sign board in a training class, documented in yet another Pakistani intelligence video, secretly captured ahead of the operation, through the use of hidden cameras inserted around the front compound of the school. A teacher, who wrapped himself up to his face with a piece of cloth, pointed towards a list of “recommendations for students” while surrounded by teenagers, urging them to embrace virtues such as “accept the way forward through sacrifice” and “accept that laying down your life for the right cause is not a waste”.

I learned a very distinct mistrust and dislike of Muslim men almost 40 years ago on the streets of Frankfurt, Germany when I was stationed there in the U. S. Army. As a young woman of good moral character from a small town in the Western USA, I had never been treated with such disrespect as I was by Middle Eastern Arabic men while merely walking in downtown Frankfurt with friends. I found those men to be lewd, filthy, degenerate, and disgusting. I soon learned if I wanted to be left unharrased, I better find a male soldier to accompany me if walking or going shopping. I have since learned that Arabic men mistreat all women and since I didn''''t have my head covered, I was considered by them to be a prostitute. The entire experience was very distateful, and Muslim men have only gone downhill in my regard for them since.

This article is a good example of how nits make lice.

If it wouldn''''t destroy the earth to nuke them all, I would say, "What are we waiting for?"

dragonwagon5 , I CONCUR.... and bluestardad, while our troops stand up, would u please take your own advice and shut up?? thanks loser.

Muslim Extremist will do anything including get a President in Office who will sympathize with them.

Obama Pastor Rev Wright Praises Hamas and writes about them in his Church Bullentin. Since Obama told us Wright is a Mentor for 20 years, I am afraid Obama is just telling us what he wants us to hear. But pay closely attention to Barack Huesain Obama acitons and associates.

The question is if we want a man in the White House who will regularly give his ear to the likes of a Reverend Wright, his and Sabeel%u2019s replacement theologies, and pro-terrorist propagandists like Ali Abunimah on a regular basis? In one sense, Obama could be considered the ISM%u2019s Manchurian candidate given his wide connections to ISM activists and campaign movements such as the Wheels of Justice Tour, Joseph Carr a.k.a. Joseph Smith, Hannah Mermelstein, Anna Baltzer and others.

I have an idea, let''s not let in any of these potential kids into our country. There is a plan to grant immigration to many Iraqis and other supposed "friends" in those area. Each one is a potential terrorist. Can''t tell friend from foe, just like Vietnam.

[petro49l]

Bin Laden and Zawahiri are both a couple of screaming queens. They would behead their own fathers to make a point. Al Qada is a bunch of closet princesses who have nothing to live for. I wouldn''t be surprised if they castrated themselves to appear even more female!

[oldone60]

There was a worldwide outcry against warlords in Africa forcing children to become brutal "child soldiers".

I wonder if there will be a worldwide outcry against forcing these children to be "child terrorists".

[ksjeff-2009]

This is similar to Christians teaching their children to protest in front of abortion clinics, or to carry "God Loves Dead Soldiers" signs and protest at funerals.

There are sick, sick people in all religions.

[guadalcanal3]

Kill em all...and let Allah sort them out.

[one-american]

Modern-day terrorist like al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas make Nazis look tame by comparison.

It is obvious that "talking" with these kinds of people will only bring more violence. They must be hunted down, captured and imprisoned - or killed.

There is no reasoning with the violent Neanderthal mindset of Islamic terrorists.

[far_point200]

The Spartains would start training their children at an early age to fight, however, those children were not trained to hide behind women''s skirts when conducting warfare.

[noloyalisti]

This is even worse than Americans invading an unarmed country and murdering thousands in cold blood, using chemical weapons against unarmed women and children and torturing innocent civilians to death.

A story like this is only to inflame the frightened masses to justify the main stream media war profiteering. Thank God we all now recognize who the evil doers are.

[docpeter-2009]

And some wonder why the US Govt. is holding teenagers in prisons in Iraq and at Gitmo.

Of course this only allows these young men to receive better and more proper training from the jailed terrorist(s).

Something sort of like the movie Blow, "I went into prison with a bachelor degree in marajuana and came out with a masters degree in cocaine." or soemthing like that.

Now try to convince me Islam is a peaceful religion. I grew up in a time with the Black Panthers (Islamist) and Malcom X (Islamist) and Casious Clay (Muhammad Ali). Two were radicals and the other refused to be drafted for religous reasons, because his religion didn''t allow killing (what a crock, then as well as now).

[au_fait]

"This is similar to Christians teaching their children to protest in front of abortion clinics, or to carry "God Loves Dead Soldiers" signs and protest at funerals.

You have to be kidding me, there is no way taking a life is similar to protesting. I do not believe the protesting should be allowed, but that is why we have the first admendment. Trainaing your children to kill in cold blood, whether or not for a religious cause, is not right nor should it be tolerated. War and murder should only be an adults affair.

[abigail70]

""This is similar to Christians teaching their children to protest in front of abortion clinics, or to carry "God Loves Dead Soldiers" signs and protest at funerals."

You''re pathetic. The people doing these things are a miniscule segment of the population. If you think these acts, however terrible, are comparable to a young child cutting off someone''s head, then there really is no hope for you. Please take the next plane to the middle east, and stay there.

[mcvet]

Would THIS be the SAME Al Queda that the Disgusting LIAR a few still call a President told us wasn''t important anymore. All rebuilt and teaching Hate in the Safe Haven WE created for them. YOU have to wonder why Bush/McSame find it so upsetting when Obama say''s he would go into Pakistan. I mean they didn''t have a problem ONE invading a country that NEVER attacked us nor had any ability to do so. ANYONE who votes for 4 more years of the failure we have now is completely out of their minds!!

Hopefully one day America will realize Islam and the prophet Mohammed are the only way. Praise be Allah Posted by USAMohammed he,he, moe WW3 coming soon b.astard so get ready for 1001 degree heat he,he

Let me guess??? YOU think ALL Muslims are the enemy and you could care LESS that our LEADER let THESE people go... never chased them, never caught them. YOU attack and try to "Give" our form of Government to another Country while the people who attacked us rebuild... Just what part of the word LOSING don''t you understand?? Sometimes it''s harder to determing who is worse... the Pathetic piece of trash a few still call a President or one of these people who just lick up the lies of that Corrupt little man. Sieg Heil Bush

More proof that Islam is a Satanic religion. Mohamed was a murdering pedophile and evil to the core. He was a perfect for Satan, who goes by many names including Alla! God chose to put them in the fallow desert for a reason. The boys mother should be executed along with his father, brothers, sisters, grandparents and anyone else that shares the demonic blood that flows through his veins.

We''d better go back to being America... go out hunt down those that attacked us and leave this Religious War alone. It''s been going on now for nearly a thousand years... EVERY American President until THIS one has managed to keep us out of it. This was without a doubt the worst failure of leadership EVER in our history! Sieg Heil Bush!!

Sorry pal but this has nothing to do with religion. This is about behaving like a savage who has learned nothing in the past 5000 years. It''s terribly sad that this young boys life has been wasted and his humanity stripped of him, and even sadder that you think you have to defend this behavior in the name of religion. If there was a God it would be ashamed of you.

Im sure they eat better in our prisons than they did anywhere else. no sympathy.

As if you''re a real Muslim. Could your text be any more obvious that you''re some teenage Christian boy, trying to rile up the masses against Islam? "The Great Satan"? C''mon, you can do better than that! You sound like the president! ha Thanks for the laugh. Read a Bible chapter for me.
