British commanders in Afghanistan say Taliban fighters are increasingly using children as suicide bombers and as human shields during battles.
Taliban and Al Qaeda militants are training hundreds of children in the camp based in North Waziristan before being sent across the border to face western troops, the report said.
The children in these camps are reported to have been brought from the Turkic ethnic group of Uyghur people who have fled China and settled in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Kazakhstan.
Terrorism experts say that the video has been released as part of a Jihad recruitment drive.
