Islamic terrorists and children

The Telegraph seem shocked to discover that: 'Children as young as five are being used by the Taliban to lay bombs and carry weapons in a deadly new tactic in Afghanistan'

Par for the course for Islamic terrorists, in Gaza they brainwash children to become martyrs (see here for details from Gaza and elsewhere) and elsewhere in Islamic paradises the story is the same. And yet any Palestinian under the age of 18 killed by Israel in Gaza is described by the BBC as a 'child', without any questions asked.

Here's some extracts from the Telegraph piece, just so you can see the people that we are dealing with and that some people in the UK think we should sit down and negotiate with:

'In the past five months the number child insurgents has increased almost fivefold in the town of Sangin, to a band of 40, who are used to run weapons, plant bombs and carry out tasks for the Taliban, The Daily Telegraph has learnt.

According to military intelligence sources there are about 12 children being routinely used in the Sangin area just to plant bombs.

...

On one occasion surveillance cameras picked up two children under 10 walking along the main road with one placing an IED in a hole followed by another covering it up with a bag of stone and earth.

"They know that we won't engage the kids," said an intelligence source with 40 Commando, Royal Marines, based in Sangin. "The kids are less aware of the risks and will to do anything for a quick buck.

"But it's really exploiting children. The parents are upset they do this but they are very, very intimidated by the Taliban."

There have been 44 roadside bombs in Sangin in the past months, a fifth were carried out by children.

At least one child has been killed in the last month laying an IED. Two other youngsters from his team turned up at the Marines' base one missing a hand and the other was later found with batteries, tape and wire on him. '

I wonder if the BBC will cover this story or does it not fit with their world view?
