Lest we forget who we're fighting: Uighurs train their children in N. Wazoo camp
 | Stills from the video at the link. I vote we send a couple of UAVs over the border one night and pound the place to rubble, which is no doubt why I am not consulted in these matters. |
| Awfully close to an ARCLIGHT! Better bring yer wallet to the O-Club! |
| Don't be silly, Dr. Steve: ARCLIGHTs are blunt instruments that flatten everything in sight and scare the bejeesus out of everyone within hearing distance of the bombers, whereas UAVs are precision instruments which strike precisely who they are aimed at, and scare the bejeesus out of everyone thereafter who doesn't hear anything. |
Baby-faced children aim AK-47 rifles as they train for war on British troops. They are being taught about combat even if they can barely hold the lethal weapons. Shocking video shows toddlers as young as five being trained as 'martyrs' at a secret al-Qaeda camp. They are learning how to blow up buildings and mount roadside bomb attacks. Footage shows children cheering as a toy police car is blown to pieces by a bomb after a youngster presses a button on a mobile phone. The anxious youngsters - some dressed in camouflage uniform - are made to stand in line before being handed the rifles.
British commanders in Afghanistan say Taliban fighters are increasingly using children as suicide bombers and as human shields during battles.
Militants are training hundreds of them to become killers in the camp based in North Waziristan before being sent across the border to face western troops. The children come from families within the Turkic ethnic group of Uyghur people - Chinese Muslims who have fled and settled in Pakistan Afghanistan and Kazakhstan.
| Outsiders, and therefore even more disposable than madrassah boys with no prospects from poor families. |
Terrorism expert Neil Doyle told the Sunday Mirror that the video which appears on an underground website, was released as part of a Jihad recruitment drive.
