The Brave Mujahadbeens are out shooting at little girls for learning their ABCs, again.Via The BBC:A group of girls returning home from school in Afghanistan's Logar province recently did not for a moment expect what lay ahead.Oh, and one of those new suicide bombers the Taliban sent off was picked up a bit short of NYC, he did make it to a check point in Afghanistan. Not a bad effort considering he was only six years old.As they walked down a dirt track, insurgents sprang out of the parched farms and began firing on them.
Some of them fled into the farm, but two girls, one aged 13, the other 10, were killed in the ambush. Three of their friends were wounded........
More from The BBC via Prairie Pundit: The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), to which Britain contributes 5,000 troops in southern Afghanistan, revealed that soldiers defused an explosive vest which had been placed on a six-year-old who had been told to attack Afghan army forces in the east of the country.Six. Years. Old.The boy was spotted after appearing confused at a checkpoint. The vest was defused and no one was hurt........RIA
Tat Tip: Prairie Pundit.
I can understand the Afghan President's problem but as this essay by Ted Koppel points out, we're not the ones placing children in the line of fire.
