The Boston Herald is publishing a series of articles from Jill Carrol on her kidnapping experience in Iraq that truely sheds light on what we are up against in the Middle East (if anyone still has any doubts).
Jill Carroll, a freelance reporter for The Christian Science Monitor, was kidnapped in Baghdad on Jan. 7, 2006.
Over the next 82 days, she was shuttled blindfolded among at least six safe houses and had closer contact with Sunni Muslim insurgents than any American who has lived to tell the tale.
One of the scariest pieces from today’s installment includes this story of a 5 year old mujahid, already indoctrinated.
Last 5 posts by BrandonAfter a short drive we switched cars. Soon I realized that there were children next to me, and men in the front seat.
Every few minutes the nervous men would mutter “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,†as we drove through the darkness.
Then one of them said in Arabic, “What are you What are you?â€
A tiny voice next to me replied, “I’m a mujahid,†a holy warrior.
It was a boy – I’d learn that his name was Ismael, and he was 5 years old. Just a child, already indoctrinated.
