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.

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.

"It was an accident which happened due to carelessness of parents," said district police chief Sultan Ahmad.

Images of the fallen Iraqi dictator with a strap around his neck, surrounded by executioners in balaclavas, were repeatedly telecast by Pakistani television channels at the weekend.

Commentators and the media across Europe had expressed shock and unease on Sunday at graphic television pictures showing the last moments of Hussein just before his execution.

The facts of this case make it hard to use but why is it okay for a kid to kill 125 innocent bus riders using IEDs "like your heroes" but it's neglect to have them hang themselves without harming another?

You don't get many virgins and slaves in the afterlife without a bodycount. You always have to have bodycount.

It's the body count of the enemies or infadiles that count....In this case he could be one of of the vestal virgens hence the uproar...
 
I'd have to say this is a case of a lack of common sense...at 9 and 10 the kids should know enough to know that re-enacting the method by which someone was killed isn't a good idea.
 
And why wouldn't you monitor what your children are watching? The hanging definately isn't something children should be viewing.
 
It may be in Pakistan where suicide belts are more fashionable than leather belts.
 
Parents who encourage their children to become suicide bombers should be held responsible, and put on trial for their child's death as well as for the lives lost in the blast.



So far no complaints that the video has encouraged a kid to act it out (AKA
"Another Consequence of Bushs' Illegal War"), but there is liberal outrage over the execution itself:

I'll try and work up the steam to give a flying fuck what they think sometime after they pull their heads out their asses.
