An Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman warned this week, on February 6, of increasing kidnappings of children by Al-Qaeda.
The spokesman noted that a raid of an Al-Qaeda base by Iraqi security forces in the Diyala region turned up films and documents showing the use of children for terrorist purposes.
He said that Iraqi forces had arrested a number of kidnappers, and that their interrogations had led to the uncovering of an Al-Qaeda network in Kirkuk involved in these kidnappings.
He presented the use of children and women for terror operations as "the beginning of the end of Al-Qaeda in Iraq," because it showed that its ranks were thinning.
