For the second time in a week, Arafat's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade strapped a bomb onto a child and tried to blow him up at an Israeli chekpoint. This time a mentally retarded boy.

The family of the teenager said he was gullible and easily manipulated.

"He doesn't know anything, and he has the intelligence of a 12-year-old," said his brother, Hosni.

In the newspaper interview, Abdo said he wanted to reach paradise, which he was taught in school was the reward for suicide bombers.

"A river of honey, a river of wine and 72 virgins. Since I have been studying Quran I know about the sweet life that waits there (in Paradise)," the newspaper quoted the boy as saying.

Here's the story.
