Al-Qaeda training children (the video is loading, may take long. Please bear with us...)

Showing clips of video seized from the militants, the US military said on Wednesday that young Iraqi children are being trained in kidnapping and assassination skills by Al-Qaeda. Clips of the videos, played to the media, showed about 20 boys, mostly under 11 years, wearing balaclavas, and brandishing AK47 machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, carrying out mock kidnappings and attacks.
