[Tolo News] Five young would-be-jacket wallahs were tossed in the clink before carrying out their deadly attacks, Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) said on Saturday.National security officials said the would-be-suicide bombers are all under thirteen.
In the primary investigations the young would-be-suicide bombers have confessed to having been trained in Speen Jomat Madrasa, religious school, in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar city of Pakistain.
Hmmm...tough extra credit program they got there.
Addressing news hounds in a conference NDS Spokesperson said four of the kids are from Pashtun-infested Logar province and one other is from Ghazni province.
The kids were told to target foreign forces stationed in their provinces, officials said.
"They are four kids and all of them are under thirteen," NDS Spokesperson Lotfullah Mashal said.
One of the kids said "I was told if you refuse to carry out a suicide kaboom, we wouldn't spare you.
| Wouldn't spare him... what? Whatever it is, it doesn't sound like teacherly kindness is involved. |
Mr Mashal said the Taliban's use of kids to step up their deadly attacks is an indication that they have lost their men.
"Majority of young Afghan Taliban who came to understanding have left their side and now they are left with no choice other than using young children to continue their Death Eater activities," Mr Mashal said.
Mr Mashal viewed the death of the late Osama bin Laden
... who used to be alive but now he's not...
in Pakistain as a big gain and called on the international community for more efforts to target other al-Qaeda leaders.
