Angelina Jolie says
 she is still haunted by
death of a 13 year-old
Aids victim.



Angelina Jolie says her son Maddox adores his newborn sister Shiloh, but daughter Zahara is jealous of the tot.

In an in-depth interview for US television, the star also spoke of her relief when tests showed that Zahara, who she adopted from Ethiopia last year, was not HIV positive.

And she told CNN's Anderson Cooper she was still haunted by the memory of a 13-year-old boy she met in Sierra Leone who died the next day - and felt guilty that she did not try to save him.

Jolie said she was "relieved" to find that her feelings for three-week-old daughter Shiloh, her first biological child, were no different to those for adopted Maddox and Zahara.

"I was kind of prepared to defend my other children, I was prepared to kind of give them extra love and attention because something was going to be different about this new one," she said.

"Mad (Maddox) loves her. Because when Z (Zahara) came home she was older, she was seven months old, so for Mad it's like having this tiny little pet he can just hold and look at. He's great.

"Z's a little jealous because she's still a little girl." Speaking about the boy in Sierra Leone who died, Jolie explained: "He was the first child I met who was about to die. He was by himself.

"I still to this day - even though I know the broader picture, you can't save everybody - feel that I should have helicoptered him out and spent the money and done something and saved him, even though I probably couldn't have.

"I still have guilt about that and I still see his face and I always will."
