Jammu and Kashmir: jihadists enlist children for attacks

Juveline Jihad from Kashmir: "J&K children enlisted for terror attacks," from NDTV.com, with thanks to Kisan:

There is a new disturbing trend emerging among militant groups, as they enlist children to carry out terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
Recently a 14-year-old boy Tipu was arrested for a grenade attack at a bus stand in the heart of Jammu that killed one person and left dozens wounded.

NDTV: How much money was given to you for throwing a grenade?

Tipu: I was given Rs 1000 for one throwing one grenade. The training given to me was that I was told couple of times how to throw a grenade, how to take out pin its and then throw it.

NDTV: Who told you?

Tipu: Abu Arbaz told me.

NDTV: Where does he live?

Tipu: He is a militant of Lashkar-e-Toiba and lives in Pakistan.

That is, our friend and ally.

Gee, and I thought they only conscripted children to wear as body armor.

Ah, not content to simply hide behind them any more, eh?

That upstanding practioner of the RoP, the Ayatollah Khomeini, used 7, 8, 9 year olds to clear mine fields during the Iran-Iraq war, telling them they would be martyrs beloved by Allah. Rather than virgins, I suppose he promised them baseball gloves or maybe G.I. Ali dolls. Ahh, Islam. How could anyone not be a fan.

No issue at all. Not when they make their kids saw off the heads of goats at the age of 4. In the name of allah. No issue at all.

From the same article, if you continue reading, under the dept. of Fox guarding Henhouse, or Muslim loyalty ('Jawans' means soldiers, for those who are wondering)

Jawans under scanner
Based on his information two policemen and two army jawans were picked up for questioning from Gursai village of Poonch district.
Mother of Shakeel Ahmad, a jawan in the Indian Army's Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry unit, cannot still believe that her son is under suspicion for supporting militants.
"He is serving in the army for the last 11 years, he was here for 13 months after his brother died before joining back the duty. He has not returned ever since and we haven't seen him ever since," said Motian Bi, Ahmad's mother.
Also in deep shock is the family of Abdul Haq, another jawan picked up for questioning.
He has been in the Army for 12 years. But the army believes it is only an aberration and should not be taken as a trend.
"I don't think this incident will have an impact, an isolated incident does not make for the rest of the people branded in any fashion at all, it's one of those aberrations which may have come about. We need corrective measures to sort it out," said GoC in C Lt. Gen Deepak Kapoor.
The militants are using new tactics and deploying people who are generally above suspicion to carry out militant activities.
Clearly it's a disturbing trend and the job of detecting these people would be a challenging task for the security forces.

Since nobody can question the loyalties of Indian Muslims (and not because their loyalties don't exist), this is the best one can expect from these clowns. A million or so such 'isolated incidents' won't awaken them. Anybody thinks an all Infidel army would have the same issues?
