Multan - A young boy who tried to copy hanging scenes from the execution video of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein died in central Pakistan, said police on Monday.
Not to gloat too overtly over the death of a child, but this may have been the gene pool prophylactically cleansing itself of a future malignancy| No. That is gloating openly and I was gonna dump your comment but I decided to call you on it. He's a nine year old kid. He's growing up in a very unfortunate place, and into an exteremely unfortunate religion/cult, but he's a little kid, dammit. |
Mubashar Ali, 9, hanged himself, while re-enacting Hussein's hanging with the help of elder sister, 10, after tying a rope to a ceiling fan and his neck in his home in Rahim Yar Khan district on Sunday, said a local police official. The father of the deceased boy said that his children had been watching the video of Saddam Hussein's execution on television and attempted to imitate the hanging as other family members thought they were playing in another room. "My wife and sister rushed to rescue Mubashar when children cried for help from the adjoining room, but he died due to hanging," said Alamgir Paracha, father of Mubashar. Police said that the death was accidental and a case of parental negligence.
Let us hope that more jihadis follow the example of this young standard-bearer| Again, no. And I don't really buy the parents' story either. |
