NATO accuses Taliban of using child suicide bombers

The Taliban, an organisation which has proved itself time and time again as the paragon of immoral behaviour, has apparently stooped to a new low, if new NATO reports are to be believed.

According to the RichardDawkins.net, reporting on a story from the UK Guardian Unlimited, NATO recently detained a confused 6 year old boy at a checkpoint, and discovered, then defused a bomb-vest attached to the poor child.

Quoting RichardDawkins.net:

"They placed explosives on a six-year-old boy and told him to walk up to the Afghan police or army and push the button," said Captain Michael Cormier, the company commander who intercepted the child, in a statement. "Fortunately, the boy did not understand and asked patrolling officers why he had this vest on."

Yet again such an abhorrently vile act shows that the Taliban, who seem obsessed with moral behaviour, have not the slightest ounce of it themselves.
