Now they want to say they follow some type of law. They have no regard for any law or norms. Good for the boy.

it's against humanitarian law

When did the taliban start paying attention to any law but their own?

Children (in Iraq) are also used to signal insurgents of approaching Coalition forces with doves:

Though I'm sure this is nothing new, using [seemingly] inconspicuous means to alert one's own forces of danger. That kid was not too clever at it.

A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said the group did not use child fighters, and said it had hundreds of adults ready for suicide missions.

"We don't need to use a child,'' Ahmadi said.

"It's against Islamic law, it's against humanitarian law. This is just propaganda against the Taliban.''

However, a Taliban video that surfaced in April showed militants instructing a boy of about 12 as he beheaded an alleged traitor with a large knife, which UN officials condemned as a war crime.

They have a spokesman. How did they find him? Did they have his number on a Rolodex? Was the traitor really beheaded with a large Knife. Or did it just look large because a kid was doing the beheading. I wonder how long until we start seeing these Spokesman on our News talk shows..

That is a pretty touching story about the kid being too smart to be used by the Taliban. I think they are getting the message out that the Coalition Forces are there to help and will do anything they can to do so.
