    Default 11-year-old Afghan boy, hailed as hero for fighting Taliban, killed by militants

    Yet, 80% of the immigrants flooding to Europe are military aged males. Ironic...

    But check this kid out. Not your average 11-year old boy.

    (CNN)An 11-year-old Afghan boy who had been praised for his bravery in leading security forces in battle against the Taliban was killed by the militants this week, Afghan authorities said.

    Wasil Ahmad had commanded a police unit for 43 days as it fought to repel a deadly 71-day Taliban siege last year, according to his uncle Mullah Samad, an Afghan Local Police commander in the Khas Uruzgan district of Uruzgan province.

    Gunmen on motorbikes shot the boy in the head Monday at a market in Tarin Kowt, the provincial capital of Uruzgan province, said Dost Mohammad Nayab, spokesman for the province's governor.

    Wasil was taken to a local hospital, then transferred to a better-equipped hospital in Kandahar, where he died of his injuries, Nayab said.
    Kid's dad was killed fighting the Taliban. After that, he went to his uncle (who was a police chief) to learn how to use weapons and communication equipment.

    During a siege last year, many of the leadership of the Afghan forces were killed or wounded, so this boy, all 11 years of him, assumed command of the 70 or so Afghan security forces left, and held off a Taliban siege for 2 months.

    He was assassinated this week.

    Respect. The kids balls haven't even dropped and he had more cajones than the adult males of his culture and religion.

    The boy is a hero.

    May Allah show him the love he deserves and reunite him with his father.

    Pity. Still, shows what young people are capable of when they aren't pampered little brats.

    No doubt. 99/100 18 year olds in this country wouldn't have half the balls this kid did, even if we were having to defend our own country.
