Boy Beheads Man In Al Qaida Video

Al Qaida is training children as young as 12 years old to be the next generation of militants. While these training camps for young militants have been known for some time now, CBS News reports on a shocking video captured by Pakistan's military that shows a 12-year-old boy beheading a man in an example of "militant justice":

Amid cries of 'Allah o Akbar' (god is great), a young boy, barely 12 years old, lifts his machete and strikes at his victim who is lying on the ground, all tied up for the kill.

Waving a 'V' for victory sign with his right hand, the boy picks up the severed head and shows it around to the chants of applause from an audience gathered in a remote part of the region straddling the mountainous range which divides Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The performance in this chilling episode which may simply shock most people around the world, is the case of militant justice meted out to supposed traitors. It involves Al Qaeda and the Taliban slapping exemplary punishment to an individual suspected to be a spy for the government.
