A shocking new story reveals that the U.S. army inadvertently had an 8-year-old boy turn into a spy and place electronic tracking devices on his surrogate father so that they could spot him and kill him in a scheduled drone attack.

The 8-year-old boy and his biological father have confessed to helping spy on the al Qaeda officer, and now the biological father is believed to have been executed while the fate of the young boy remains unknown.

The thorough story was reported by The Atlantic, who claim that the boy, named Barq al-Kulyabi, helped lead American drones to an al Qaeda operative named Adnan al-Qadhi who had been placed on the U.S. ‘kill list’ due to his role in the Yemeni branch of the terrorist organization.

Spy kid: Barq, 8, was recruited by his biological father's colleagues to place tracking chips in the coat of the man who had taken him in and cared for him, who happened to be an al Qaeda officer

The story of how Barq went from living on the streets of a small village to covertly placing electronic trackers on a man less than two days before he was killed in a drone strike is a heart-breaking one filled with family allegiances and financial struggles.

Barq was sent away by his father and mother who lived in Sanaa to go live with a wealthier distant relative in the smaller town of Bayt al-Ahmar, where al-Qadhi lived.

Comment by Frances Farmer on August 17, 2013 at 4:18pm: Its just these kind of things that make me gag when Obama, Rice, et. al. talk about "shared values" and condemn other countries acts as "troubling," "offensive" or "disgusting." Truth is they probably are not any worse than any other countries leaders, but the technology gives them an advantage in the game of 'Danger To Self and Others-Political Edition.' They only care about winning and ending up with enough subjects to exercise their power over.

Comment by 14300 on August 17, 2013 at 6:14am: We are reliving the days of "Hitler" when children turned their own parents in to the Gestapo.

Comment by Old Denmark on August 17, 2013 at 5:49am: Probably not the first time or the last. Thinking theres 50-60 years of technology not seen to its full potential yet and many inventions not introduced yet or hidden away from the public.
