"Extremist Syrian faction touts training camp for boys" by Joby Warrick, Washington Post, December 16:
At first glance, the training camp appears no different from the many
others shown in propaganda videos posted by al-Qaeda’s affiliate in
Syria. Hooded recruits in camouflage shoot at targets or march in
formation under the black flag of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
But look closer and the “fighters” appear quite small. The
tallest are barely chest-high to their instructors, and the shorter ones
wear ill-fitting uniforms and appear to struggle under the weight of
their weapons. A photo of the recruits without their hoods confirms that
all of them are young boys.
They are “Zarqawi’s Cubs,” the youth brigade of Syria’s most fearsome
Islamist rebel group and one of the newest manifestations of al-Qaeda’s deepening roots in
rebel-controlled sections of the country. Building on earlier efforts
to expand their influence in Syrian schools, radical Islamists appear to
be stepping up efforts to indoctrinate and train children, some as
young as 10, according to independent experts who have studied the
phenomenon.
