The Downward Spiral: Al Qaeda is recruiting kids
February 6th, 2008 by ClaudeTagged as: Al Qaeda, children, terrorism.
US Defense Department officials say that  Al Qaeda is recruiting and training boys as young as 11.Â
The video shown on CNN.com shows a group of over 20 young boys clad in black hoods carrying weapons from handguns to rocket propelled grenade launchers.
In the video they are shown taking a grown man captive, searching a car and storming a compound/house while being prompted by the camera man. (You can see in this screen capture, the small boy pushing his gun into the neck of a grown man).
Another shot shows the kids holding weapons and holding their hands up in a #1, like some kind of demented sports team photo. The whole thing is like a summer camp of the worst kind.
