CBS Catches Up With Reality: Boy, 12, Beheads Man In Al Qaeda Video - With Video
This story was originally reported over 6 months ago all over the internet. Including here…
CBS Has finally decided to run it….
(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”.

This KID needs to be whacked and the sooner the better.
May 21st, 2008 at 7:17 amThe only time in my life i advocate shooting a kid. but yeah the sooner the better for this one. he is beyond ‘damaged goods’
Cant believe it took these traitors so long to report this story
May 21st, 2008 at 7:19 amThe religion of satan.
That’s all it is. The Lord warned about the Ishmaelites. 
So when there is “collateral damage” can they honestly say that in every case anymore?…how do we know little haji isn’t a muderous thug, just like dear old dad?
May 21st, 2008 at 7:21 amIf they aren’t careful, they may get more than they asked for. If we are to believe this little bastard is a ‘killing machine’, then why use smart bombs. We should be flattening the whole place, killing as many ‘killing machines’ as possible.
May 21st, 2008 at 7:32 amIf they keep sending their children to die, being the future generation of Islamists, the jihadi cause will eventually wither on the vine. The old will get older, eventually dieing off and as their children get killed, no one will be left to replace the adults.
Keep it up jihadis. You are doing our work for us.
May 21st, 2008 at 7:42 amOlbershit4brains would spew an elongated diatribe about how our ‘violent influence’ in the region (via Mr. Bush’s lust for supreme power and oil) is the catalyst for this ‘poor misguided child’s mental problems’ …
Otherwise, the young lad would be off peacefully flying a kite in the hills (a la Michael Moore) …
The evil American ‘war criminals’ have forced this otherwise sweet and innocent child into taking up hate and knife …
May 21st, 2008 at 8:07 amwhat rational presidential contender would be willing to sit and have dialogue with the people responsible for training such innocent young men. Barry Hussein Obama thats who. VOTE WISELY, and VOTE OFTEN, VOTE OBAMA: paid for by the YOUNG JIHADISTS of MOHAMMED, Mickey Moore, chief dicklicker of Geo. Soros
May 21st, 2008 at 8:43 amI have a great deal of sympathy for these kids. Kids can be taught anything by a variety of methods (fear, coersion,etc,etc).
I am basing the following observations on Couric’s video report…not the written report from Afghanistan/Pakistan:
What I find very disturbing is the liberal demedia’s position that is exactly the same as the dem leaders they promote. i.e. - al qaeda wasn’t in Iraq until Operation Iraqi Freedom began. Regardless of the truthfulness of that statement (yeah, AQ was in every country BUT Iraq), the premise that drives such statements that damage our efforts to bring freedom to the ME is a self-serving one and not beneficial to these exploited children. This exploitation of children is the sick mentality that has existed in that area of the world since children were used in sacrifice thousands of years ago that is at the root of the problem.
By the coalition forces trying to bring areas of the mideast into the 21st century this child abuse for the first time in history has a chance of ending. But the anti-war naysayers like CBS and the rest of the demedia are as culpable as the terrorist exploiters in delaying progress in helping these children.
By opposing our efforts in the ME the demedia gives these children no hope of a better future. At the same time the demedia is encouraging those that exploit these children to hold out for new dem leadership in Washington that have promised in their campaigns to bring home our troops from Iraq ASAP.
Not mentioned by the demedia is that by cutting and running from the ME, America is in essence allowing this travesty directed by adults on children to continue…all for the dems self-serving reasons. That I find disgusting.
May 21st, 2008 at 9:23 amGee they finally caught up to a small glimpse of the reality that is out there! Wow. Impressive.
May 21st, 2008 at 3:23 pmHeavy sarcasm intended.
This infuriates me to no END!These pompous elites in the MSM have to nerve to act as if this is something new! As if for years terrorists in Palestine, syria, and all over the middle east haven’t been doing this! The MSM is no longer sleeping with AQI I guess they are split up for the moment..
May 21st, 2008 at 5:15 pmNo problem wacking these litle bitches.
May 21st, 2008 at 8:12 pmI propose that the entire family should be sent on to their just reward. If we truely want to end terrorism we need to strike at the root of the problem. Eliminate the family and tribe of a terrorist and you eliminate the terrorist factory. The use of violence to intimidate has been around since man began to live in groups. The ancient world understood this the need to destroy the roots of a terrorist group to cure the problem.
Have we become so civilized that we jepardize our very existance because we are two squemish to excise the cancer that threatens us?

May 22nd, 2008 at 3:03 amDid it mention the rapes and molestation that these boys endure. Many of the “cadre” are sexually oppressed pedophiles who used these schools as their own version of a brothel. I think some compassion for these kids is in order… that being said, don’t hesitate to shoot to kill.
