| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] A 12-year-old child assigned for a suicide mission surrendered himself to the security forces in the eastern Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province of AFghanistan. According to the local security officials, the child was recently taken to Jalalabad city from the neighboring Pakistain for the suicide mission. Provincial police chief Fazal Ahmad Shirzad said the child was trained in a Madrasa in Pakistain regarding the suicide kaboom and the kid handed over himself to the security forces on Tuesday. The child said he was motivated to refrain from the attack after witnessing the Afghan people are offering prayers and there are plenty of mosques open in the country, apparently gesturing towards the terror groups claims regarding the ruling un-Islamic system, a claim which is mainly used to brainwash the children and young people for the terrorist attacks. This comes as the Afghan children have regularly been recruited by the turban groups, the Taliban and the Haqqani network for the terrorist related activities, including suicide attacks. Madrasas are described as the main recruitment source for the turban groups as poor families in Pakistain and Afghanistan send their sons to such madrassas for free education and lodging. According to the testimonies given by the children recruited for suicide attacks, their handlers promise them heaven and an end to all problems by carrying suicide attack, a similar testimony given by the 12-year-old child who surrendered to security forces in Jalalabad yesterday. |
