Not entirely accurate…

Found this story in the HotAir links section, it’s from the Daily Mail in the UK:

The world’s youngest terror suspect… ready to blow himself up at the age of 11

A would-be suicide bomber aged 11 has been arrested alongside Taliban fighters.

Known only as Abdullah, the youngster was caught crossing the mountains from Pakisrtan’s tribal region into Afghanistan wearing a jacket packed with explosives.

While it is wretched and nearly unconscionable to even envision a kid who should be playing with a stretch-armstrong packing on explosives and heading off for martyrdom, you have way too much faith in the Taliban by calling him the world’s youngest. My guess is that that award goes to this 6 year old who was running around in my old stomping grounds:

FORWARD OPERATING BASE THUNDER, Afghanistan (AP) — The story of a 6-year-old Afghan boy who says he thwarted an effort by Taliban militants to trick him into being a suicide bomber provoked tears and anger at a meeting of tribal leaders.

The account from Juma Gul, a dirt-caked child who collects scrap metal for money, left American soldiers dumbfounded that a youngster could be sent on such a mission. Afghan troops crowded around the boy to call him a hero.

The Taliban don’t care how old you are, whether you are retarded, or even your gender. If you can walk and wear a vest at the same time, you’re perfect for them to kill off.

Despicable sonsabitches.
