Child Sacrifices in Britain?

Christianity Today is reporting on a BBC 4 story on a leaked Scotand Yard report that children are being sold for human sacrifice:

A confidential report from London's Metropolitan Police leaked to BBC Radio 4's Today program (audio) claims children are being trafficked into Britain as religious sacrifices.

"[P]eople who are desperate will seek out witchcraft experts to cast spells for them," says the report, a product of a ten-month investigation. "For a spell to be powerful it required a sacrifice involving a male child unblemished by circumcision. … Boy children are being trafficked into the UK for this purpose. … Specific details were not forthcoming as the belief was that they would be 'dead meat' if we tell you any more."

The report also alleges that children are being trafficked into the country for sexual purposes, particularly catering to African men who believe that sex with a child will cure them of HIV or AIDS.

The first part sounds like sheer nonsense; the second part sounds like the sex trade that President Bush declared war on prior to 9/11.

Christianity Today sensibly advises caution on the story, but does point out that "the deadly campus cult phenomenon on Nigeria" makes this potentially something more than the "news of the weird."

Ok, that is some weird stuff.
