Boko Haram Militant: "It's Acceptable To Fire On" Children

A member of Nigerian militant group Boko Haram, responsible for the abduction of nearly 300 schoolgirls, tried to justify the targeting of children and warned of more kidnappings in an interview with CBS News.

"You see the enemies among the children, it's acceptable to fire on all of them. You cannot differentiate the children," Saleh Abubakar told CBS News contributor Debora Patta.

Although very nervous at first, Abubakar was brazen enough to walk though heavy security and police cordons to speak to CBS News. This was in line with what a source connected to the group had said, that Boko Haram moves freely around the country and is integrated into many levels of society.

This is worse than in Viet Nam when kids had bombs strapped to them.Shoot the child before he reaches your camp and save your entire platoon or allow the child to enter your camp and kill a dozen US soldiers?
