Pretoria - The homemade "suicide-bomber jacket" worn by a six-year-old to a protest march in Pretoria was his own idea, says his father.

Mohammed Dockrat, a university lecturer, said: "Muslim children in South Africa have been aware of the attack on Islam since the war in Afghanistan.

"They saw other children being killed and maimed and are very aware of who the enemy is."

The academic said his son, Uzair, decided to wear the jacket to a protest march in Pretoria attended by about 300 Muslims.

The Dockrats were among those protesting in front of the Israeli embassy against the killing of Sheik Ahmed Yassin, spiritual leader of the Palestinian Hamas group, outside a mosque in Gaza in an Israeli missile attack a week ago.
