Boy, 12, Beheads Man In Al Qaeda Video

(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 guess we can recognize this act as an act of terrorism since we have gotten so good at it ourselves under the guise of war. We have committed so many atrocities on behalf of the nut cases like bush cheney and mcSame.

And you wonder why is it that a soldier can kill women and children? To turn your back on them is to risk death.

Your problem is YOU listen and believe ANY political hack. Even wanna be''s.
Please....mortgage issues are the individuals OWN issue. Far too many should NEVER have been allowed to qualify for any sort of loan. Please stop the finger pointing.
Poverty? are YOU serious?
The KKK? Hmm so having MY own opinion makes me a KKK member? You looney liberal are the problem of today in this great land.

[homespunlady]

Sorry I''m a CONSTITUTIONALIST and was a Paul fan as far as Politics.

As far as I''m Concerned THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE anymore between the 2 parties. They BOTH are just being used by the UBER-WEALTHY to WIDEN THAT WEALTH GAP and take us back to the DARK AGES.

Smoke and mirrors from BOTH major political parties to CONTROL SMALL MINDS like YOURS downislam IS the REAL PROBLEM in America.

In the MEANTIME the DROP in HOUSING VALUE Is the BIGGEST DROP since it''s been tracked.

THE COMMODITIES Market manipulations are OFF THE CHART and DRIVING THE OIL BUBBLE -

POVERTY IS approaching THE HIGHEST percentage since the GREAT DEPRESSION an SPEAKING of the Great DEPRESSION - Welcome to the NEW ONE!

So, DIVERT the STUPID PEOPLE from SEEING THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION and you too can be a NEO-CON.

and oh by the way - tuck in those sheets thatare hanging out - all that flailing about denying BUSH''S WAR allowed the KKK logo to show.

[downislam]

Firstly this is NOT Bush''s war. This was a war which was given to us many years back and we IGNORED IT. Now we have to fight what we have...thanks to the previous administrations who cow towed to these drag queens with *** on their heads twisted too tight. It is time you and MANY more Americans and the Western civilization in general start to comprehend the fight we are in. Much like we ignored hitler boy we ignored the islamic pigs which fought under or with the nazi''s.

Asking to convert is NOT forcing conversion. Not even close. Please wise up!
