US: Al Qaeda recruiting children

According to this story, Al Qaeda is recruiting children for attacks. Well, if your goals are killing and maiming innocent people, you'll have no qualms about taking advantage of vulnerable people to carry out your attacks. Last week, Al Qaeda apparently used 2 mentally handicapped women in bombing attacks in Baghdad. Bill Roggio points out Al Qaeda has a documented history of using children and mentally handicapped individuals in attacks, dating from 2005. The Fatah Party was recuiting women during 2006. And this case qualifies as a a two-fer: an elderly woman.
