Iraqi Terrorists Use Children as Decoys
I can’t say that I’m surprised by this, but for anyone who still sympathizes with the self-proclaimed cause of these "insurgents", consider their tactics:
Al Qaeda in Iraq is using kidnapped children to pick up weapons dropped in battle zones, get past checkpoints and die in car bombs, according to U.S. officials and Iraqis in Baghdad.
"Al Qaeda is using children to pick up weapons and ammunition knowing that U.S. troops will not shoot against children," said one U.S. military official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
There has also been a reported incident in which children were used to drive safely past a checkpoint in order to detonate a car closer to a target.
"Men traveling with children in the back of their cars rarely get searched because they look like a family," said Hassan, a middle-aged Shi’ite living in one of the capital’s older mixed neighborhoods.
