Pakistan's top terror thug Baitullah Mehsud buys and sells children to use as suicide bombers, according to Pakistani officials.

"He has been been admitting he holds a training center for young boys, for preparing them for suicide bombing," Maj. Gen. Akhtar Abbas, spokesman for the Pakistani army, told CNN. "So he is on record saying all this, accepting these crimes."

Pakistan's military released a shocking video showing children as young as 11 training for martyrdom missions.

Mehsud is an Al Qaeda ally and is considered the mastermind of a 2007 attack that killed Pakistan's Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

U.S. and Pakistani military have been targeting known Taliban strongholds controlled by Mehsud. On Tuesday, a U.S. drone fired a missile into a Taliban camp near the Afghan border, according to intelligence officials.

U.S. officials do not confirm missions or drone attacks on Pakistani soil, and Islamabad has complained in the past about such military action, but it is believed are working in close cooperation to hunt the Taliban leader.

According to reports, 14 people were killed in the attack in South Waziristan.

    • all is fair in love and war. There is no such thing as a war crime when you are fighting for your cause no matter what belief system you hold. War is War, and the purpose is to annihilate, conquer, and steal resources.
      I do not praise this type of manipulation, but it is effective, and it does have a certain shock value that all humans respond to,...so after we respond to shock, what next? what is the message behind it? insanity?
      Are the wars we get involved in any better? more sane?

    • "Children? Are you kidding? They are old already and looks like children already... they are just small not tall people...there might be a mistake....

      Besides, an honorable soldier will not use children...by the way, please check the blood of the suicide bomber if they are not high in drugs...."-JB

      Buying children, brainwashing children, blowing children up. Of all the atrocities human being are capable of this is a top ten.

    • It does say that they are runnng short of willing suicide bombers. Child soldiers are the last refuge of bankrupt movements in the most lawless and warlike parts of africa. This is islam turned on it's head.

    • Find me an article where an Islamic cleric has condemned the so called extremist tactics.
      How about an Islamic news paper published in the U.S or anywhere.
      How about in an Islamic mosque during sermons
      How about protest in the streets by Muslims.

      Yes by keeping silent all Muslims condone terrorism.

      Or maybe they just want to live their lives like everyone else.

      Just because I do not go out and publicly decry spousal abuse does not mean I condone it. The same logic applies here.

      I agree. If the Ku Klux Klan were to began terrorist attacks against Jews and African Americans in the US there would be a public uproar against them. Not protesting their actions would be condoning them.

      -When was the last time you picked up and read an Iraqi news paper?
      -When was the last time you sat in a mosque during sermons?
      -Aren't muslims the victims of these criminal acts?
      -Aren't the Iraqis & the Pakistanis fighting muslim extremism today?

      Clearly you are clueless!!!
