Haqqani Network said to sexually abuse boys |
2014-08-21 |
Not news to us, but interesting source. Militant sexual abuse of the boys they recruit to join their cause apparently is rife in Afghanistan and Pakistan. "I was dressed in women's clothes and was raped over four nights," Samiullah, a teen victim who was recruited by the Haqqani Network, said in a video statement posted last year on YouTube. "A friend of mine named Muhammad was also raped." "Haqqani Network commanders are sexually abusing teenage boys who are being trained to carry out terror acts," the NDS statement said in a December statement. NDS officials recently told Central Asia Online they take such allegations seriously, especially when a boy provides specific information. Samiullah, for example, named Haqqani Network commanders Musa and Mohammad Kaleem, who are brothers, as two who raped him. |
