ARIZONA NURSE: `I WAS A PRE-TEEN ASSASSIN'

PHOENIX, Ariz. (Wireless Flash) -- Think your childhood was rough? It was nothing compared to one Arizona woman who claims the CIA forced her to become an assassin at the age of 10. The now 39-year-old Phoenix nurse claims she was part of "MK-Ultra" -- a top secret operation that allegedly turned thousands of kids into mind-controlled military operatives between 1953 and 1991. Cheryl Hersha claims she was also brainwashed into having sex with grown-ups for blackmail purposes before the tender age of nine and by age 15 she was flying helicopters for the military. Although her tale is bizarre, she swears she's not the only victim. She claims the Unabomber, Timothy McVeigh and the "Trenchcoat Mafia" in Columbine, Colorado, all fit the model of folks who suffered through the MK-Ultra program. Hersha is the co-author of the new book "Secret Weapons (New Horizon Press).
