The Israeli army has released a photograph of a baby wearing an ammunition belt. It claims the picture was in the family album of a wanted Palestinian. The house was raided on Tuesday night south of Hebron, in the West Bank. The belt is recognisable as a miniature version of those used by suicide bombers. An army spokesman said he could not confirm whether the belt was real, reports The Times. Palestinians have been known to dress their children up in mock suicide-bomber outfits on marches and funerals of those considered to have been martyred in the cause.The brainwashing of children is one of the most serious criticisms that Israel levels at Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Authority.
