A video that shows young boys being trained in kidnapping and assassination was discovered during a raid on an al-Qaeda safe house in Iraq, the U.S. military said Tuesday.The video shows about 20 boys wearing ski masks and carrying pistols, assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers. In some cases the weapons appear to dwarf the youngsters carrying them.Excerpts, which were viewed by USA TODAY, appear to show the boys running through training exercises under the supervision of trainers, said Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, spokesman for the coalition command in Iraq. Portions of the video, the content of which could not be independently verified, will be released publicly today.An analysis of the video provided by the U.S. command in Baghdad said the boys were proclaiming allegiance to al-Qaeda.The tape was found among other al-Qaeda material uncovered during a raid north of Baghdad on Dec. 4, Smith said.Smith said the video was being released to illustrate al-Qaeda's increasing willingness to use women and children to carry out its objectives. see videohttp://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/20...amps-usat_N.htm
