A 12-year-old suicide bomber has killed four people and wounded a dozen in east Afghanistan as the Taliban's threatened spring offensive got under way.

Rebel clashes with police and Nato-led troops also left five civilians and two police dead.

The death toll from the day's fighting included at least three children besides the bomber, and dozens of civilians were wounded in firefights.

The boy detonated an explosive vest in a marketplace in Paktika province near the Pakistan border, provincial spokesman Mukhlis Afghan said.

"The head of Shkin district council, Shair Nawaz, a woman and two other men were killed and 12 others were wounded," he said in a statement.

Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, claimed responsibility for the bombing on behalf of the group. He said it was part of the spring offensive the group announced on Saturday would start on May 1.

Yesterday, Achmed, this sweet little Mohammedan was but a child.

They blow up so quickly!

Perhaps the most politically incorrect yet most honest,objective and empirically supported statement one may say concerning spiritual matters is that the most efficacious product of Islam is evil.

If this isn’t child abuse, I don’t know what is.

This spring looks pretty good for the Goat Humpers, I have to say.

They’ve been drafting younger, and the ranks are deep and the have some pretty good players.

Now, a lot of them aren’t trained well. So they won’t do well especially with the rushing under pressure. And we can expect some premature explosions (and I don’t mean when just the ones when they’re being passed around by the local Imam... ha ha ha..) But really, the talent is there, and I expect many good booms from this crowd.

If they can keep the new kids on a straight run until it’s time to explode, they’re going to do really well.

You think we should start a Fantasy Jihad pick?

I want Mohammed. No the other one. No the other one. No the other one. No the other one. No...

Remember when the Iranian Islamofascists gave little children plastic “keys to Paradise” before they herded them over Iraqi minefields in order to clear them?

Golda Meir said it best—”We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”

You can bet she wasn’t talking about Christian or Jewish Arabs.
