A suicide bomber blew himself up near a bus stand in northwest Pakistan Tuesday, killing at least 18 people including some police officers and injuring several others, police said.
The blast happened near an Octry Post in Dera Ismail Khan, a town bordering Pakistan's troubled tribal areas where there have been several attacks blamed on pro-Taliban militants.
Remember ! Suicide bomber was a young child, age 14/15, this incident reminds me an article , let me share that.
In persistence of my previous topic Face to Face with Taliban in which I explained how they feel, and how they operate, I am posting yet another topic for the ones whos been victimized, yes I mean the Weapon they use against Americans and Afghans.
Face to face with the Talibans new Favourite Weapon « Youth Awareness
Yesterday, at the Directorate of National Intelligence in Kabul, I met a failed suicide bomber. Arrested two weeks before in jalalabad, prepairing to assassinate the Governer of Nangarhar Province, Farhad was setting outside of Pakistans Waziristan Province for the first time.
Only 17, he was terrified. Not only because of an uncertain fate, but perhaps more so because the world was not as the Taliban had described it. The Taliban indoctrinated him as well, convincing him the Americans were stealing the faith of Afghan Muslims.Turning them into Kafirs, I also asked him if he also hated the Governer. No, it was simply that in working with Americans hed fallen away from Islam. He describe to die.
It was immediately clear this kid was ignorant of the world; the boundaries of his village were his world.I asked him if hed heared of Iraq. He had, but when I asked him if he could point out on a map, he said he couldnt ever see a map.
That begged the question what he knew about Islam. When I asked him said hed read the Quran. I Asked him if he understood it. He shook his head. It was then it became apparent his education went no futher then the madarsaas ? he was taught to recite Quran in Arabic but did not understand a word, other then what he was told.
And this is where the Taliban came in. Spotting him the village mosque, they invited him to attend what they can only be called an indoctrinating course in Waziristan. There he he was taught that suicide bombers go directly to heaven, where theyre met by virgins and lush gardens. Farhad was also taught that any muslim working with the Americans in Afghanistan was no longer a Muslim, but a Munafiq pretend Muslim. It was written in the Quran, farhad was assured.
Even, I know who have tried to get a grip on Muslim Suicide bombings, was stunned by the depth of the brain washing. Id never seen anything like it. Sp I asked the question. What religion is Musharraf, the President of Pakistan ? he is Jew, the Taliban had assured Farhad.
No wonder Farhad agreed to go to Jalalabad to kill a fellow Muslim. Still, wasnt there a doubt in his mind about taking his life that nd who knows how many others ? No the Taliban told him that when he pushed the button on his suicide vest, it was Allah then who would decide whether to summon him to heaven or not.
Earlier that day, Id visited NATO headquarters to talk to an American Marine colonel who tracks suicide bombings and improvised explosives devices. He came straight to the point: neither military forces nor intelligenc is going to stop suicide bombings, only Miligate them, what NATO is pressing the Afghans to do is to deindoctrinate young men like Farhad.
But how do you get someone like farhad, who may never have seen a map, change his radical worlds view ?
