Jihadist Video Shows Boy Beheading Man
By ABDUL SATTAR, Associated Press Writer

KILI FAQIRAN, Pakistan - The boy with the knife looks barely 12. In a high-pitched voice, he denounces the bound, blindfolded man before him as an American spy. Then he hacks off the captive's head to cries of "God is great!" and hoists it in triumph by the hair.

A video circulating in Pakistan records the grisly death of Ghulam Nabi, a Pakistani militant accused of betraying a top Taliban official who was killed in a December airstrike in Afghanistan.

An Associated Press reporter confirmed Nabi's identity by visiting his family in Kili Faqiran, their remote village in southwestern Pakistan.

The video, which was obtained by AP Television News in the border city of Peshawar on Tuesday, appears authentic and is unprecedented in jihadist propaganda because of the youth of the executioner.

Captions mention Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban's current top commander in southern Afghanistan, although he does not appear in the video. The soundtrack features songs praising Taliban supreme leader Mullah Omar and "Sheikh Osama" _ an apparent reference to Osama bin Laden, who is suspected of hiding along the Afghan-Pakistan border.

The footage shows Nabi making what is described as a confession, being blindfolded with a checkered scarf.

"He is an American spy. Those who do this kind of thing will get this kind of fate," says his baby-faced executioner, who is not identified.

A continuous 2 1/2-minute shot then shows the victim lying on his side on a patch of rubble-strewn ground. A man holds Nabi by his beard while the boy, wearing a camouflage military jacket and oversized white sneakers, cuts into the throat. Other men and boys call out "Allahu akbar!" _ "God is great!" _ as blood spurts from the wound.

The film, overlain with jihadi songs, then shows the boy hacking and slashing at the man's neck until the head is severed.

A Pashto-language voiceover in the video identifies Nabi and his home village of Kili Faqiran in Baluchistan province, which lies about two hours' drive from the Afghan border.

A reporter went to the village, and Nabi's distraught and angry father, Ghulam Sakhi, confirmed his son's identity from a still picture that AP made from the footage. He said neighbors had told him the video is available at the village bazaar, but he had no wish to see it.

Sakhi said his son had been a loyal Taliban member who fought in Afghanistan and sheltered the hard-line Afghan group's leaders in the family's mud-walled compound.

He blames the Taliban and wants to avenge his son's death.

"The Taliban are not mujahedeen. They are not fighting for the cause of Islam," the 70-year-old said. "If I got my hands on them I would kill them and even tear their flesh with my own teeth."

Qari Yousaf Ahmadi, who claims to speak for the Taliban, told AP he had no information about Nabi or the video. None of the group's commanders he contacted could confirm the execution, he said.

The method of Nabi's death was not unusual for Pakistan's lawless tribal regions. Suspected informers are regularly found beheaded and dumped along the side of the road in the lawless, mountainous regions along the Afghan-Pakistani border where al-Qaida and Taliban militants find sanctuary.

But such al-Qaida-style killings are rarely featured in the Taliban's increasingly frequent propaganda videos. The use of a child to conduct the beheading stands out even among those filmed by militants in Iraq.

"This is outright barbarism," Iqbal Haider, secretary-general of the in***endent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, said after viewing the video. "Whosoever has committed this, whether they are Taliban or anybody else or any Afghan or al-Qaida or anybody, they are enemy No. 1 of the Muslims."

The video accuses Nabi of responsibility for a U.S. airstrike that killed Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Osmani, who was regarded as one of the top three associates of Omar, the Taliban supreme leader. He was hit while traveling by car in Afghanistan's Helmand province Dec. 19.

Osmani was the highest-ranking Taliban leader to die since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan that ousted the hard-line regime in late 2001 for refusing to hand over bin Laden following the Sept. 11 terror attack on the United States.

The U.S. military said at the time that Osmani's death was a serious blow to militant operations, and NATO commanders said this week that a feared spring offensive had yet to materialize.

Sakhi, a retired mosque preacher with a long gray beard, spoke unashamedly of his son's Taliban affiliation and wept twice during an interview in his simple home at the foot of a mountain valley in Baluchistan province.

He said Nabi fought against the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance that helped U.S. forces to victory in Afghanistan.

After returning to Pakistan, Nabi ran a religious school in the Baluchistan capital of Quetta and had regularly sheltered both Osmani and Dadullah at the family compound, the father said.

He said Nabi also bought weapons for Taliban fighters and organized medical treatment for those injured during fighting in Afghanistan.

Some days after Osmani's death, Nabi went to Peshawar and then to Wana, a tribal town considered a militant stronghold, to collect money from Taliban officials to buy guns and food for militants in Afghanistan, Sakhi said.

He said his son called at the end of January to reveal that a tribal council had sentenced him to death on charges of tipping off U.S. forces about Osmani's movements, despite his denials.

His son passed the phone to Dadullah, but the militant leader ignored his pleas for clemency, Sakhi said.

"I talked to him and said you visited us and my son was a close friend so why are you going to hang him? He just said, 'How are you?', and switched off the phone," Sakhi said.

"They are the enemies of Islam," he said of the Taliban. "They are behaving like savages."

Sam Zarifi, Asia research director for Human Rights Watch, said the use of a child to commit such an act constituted a war crime and was a "new low" in the conflict in Afghanistan.

He noted the Taliban had teenage combatants but they were not recruited on a large scale because of the availability of adult fighters. He said he had seen children in the background of some jihadist videos but none in which they were directly involved in violence.

"I don't know why they would do this," Zarifi said. "The Taliban have to some extent tried to play to the public in Afghanistan and have not engaged in the complete sowing of mayhem that we have seen in Iraq. But this kind of act is really egregious. It's off the charts."


****ing unbeliveable

[SVTMuscle*]

Good thing we're pulling troops out so those animals can continue to grow

[singern]

Although the west doesnt normaly see this sort of thing, Sadly it's nothing new, Arab/Islamic military both state sponsored and stateless such as Al-Kaida have been using child solders forever. Iran sacrificed half a million children under the age of 16 just to ***lete Iraqi bullets during the Iran/Iraq conflict. Hamas and Islamic-Jihad sends children with fire bombs against border solders, and suicide belts against Israeli civilian locations. Not to mention the Northern African nations where militias travel from village to village kidnapping little boys to fight for the cause.

dam but 12 years old what will he do when is is 20?

[SVTMuscle*]

I wonder how old the guys were that caused 9/11.

[RamyGras]

I wonder how old the guys were that caused 9/11.

Most of them were in the their mid-20's. However a couple were 20/21. And a couple were in their 30's.

Pulling out the troops from where? Afghanistan and tribal region of Pakistan? There are no troops in Pakistan.

You would be amazed as to what these children are subjected to. Remember a quasi- third world country, many that are poor orphans are picked up by these mullahs and are brought up. They dont go to school, do not have internet or television, hence they are perpetually and consistantly brainwashed with one version of the story. This is where they indoctrinate with there idealogies and instill hatred. So the child grows up not knowing better.

The public supports the war in Aghanistan, just not the war in Iraq. This took place in Pakistan, we aren't allowed to send troops into Pakistan. So try again.

[Flagg]

The best thing for that 12 year old boy?

A bullet in the head. The people he woulda met might thank his assassin.

He ceased being a child when he commited that act.

I totally agree on that one bro.

[singern]

Here is the problem.
Do you blame the child, or the culture that created him. Is the child truly to blame for his lack of humanity and godless behavior, or should we look at the ideology and culture of a people that cultivate and celebrate such violence.
I dont want to inject the Palestinians into this thread but if you look at Palestinian tv shows like sesame street you will see children singing about swimming in the blood of infidels, you will see children pretending to blow up and be martyrs.

If a child knows no better or no different is he truly to blame for his actions?

[Flagg]

Well the culture is to blame but then by saying he doesn't know any better makes the child ignorant.

So is ignorance a sin or simply bad luck?

singern can you post the video of the Pak verison of sesame street

[singern]

No nothing gory, its all palestinian kids shows, and how they teach children to hate, kill, and die. Its quite sickening on a morality level, but no gore.
Notice that in all the videos they speak of violence and death to jews not Israelis.

[Lexed]

there is no hope for these savages

[Flagg]

The mentality of these people is mind boggling.

I mean its like they still live in the dark ages but they just traded the sword for the AK 47.

[RamyGras]

I had never seen anything like that. That's messed up. I understand the Palestinian's beef, but it is absolutely unacceptable to teach their children this type of aggression.

This is what the Palestinian children see every day on tv, on the radio, in school, at the Mosque, and of course in the streets.
This is the culture I have spoken about, this isn’t minority this is an entire population, an entire culture. This is the reality of the kind of people we are trying to make peace with.

[Superhuman]

we should have cartoons like that here in America! We did back in WWII, looney toons making fun of Japanese. Why not have crazy caricatures of Muslims now and there continued state of insanity??

I will disagree with this comment. Not all people there think like this. Just like we, in America, don't agree with everything we see on television.

[RamyGras]

While we don't use cartoons, we use plenty in our media arsenal to portray Muslims as crazy and in a state of insanity. But if you'd like to draw a couple cartoons, be my guest.

Fair enough,

[RamyGras]

Fair enough, I will retrack that. I normally do not generalize or stereotype, but when it is so deeply imbedded in the culture as you saw in the television clips, I think you can begin to understand the frightening magnitude of it all

Of course, even without the clips, I always sympathized with what EVERYBODY in that region is going through. I can't imagine trying to live a full and fulfilling life as an Israeli. And, I know I don't want to live the life of a Palestinian.

Sick stuff for a 12 yr old man...
