The Downward Spiral: Al Qaeda is recruiting kids
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 by ClaudeUS 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.
