Terrorism is sending shock waves across the globe with attacks happening at one or the other part of the world. Just yesterday ISIS suicide bomber targeted a wedding party in Turkey killing more than 40 and leaving many injured.
What came as a shock is the suicide bomber was just around 12years. This left everyone shellshocked and many feel terror groups are luring kids so that cops donot suspect them in any case. This left many wonder who is the world's youngest terrorist.
Couple of years back a 11 year old was arrested in Afghanistan and security forces say he was a potential suicide bomber. He is now languishing in the most secured jails of Afghanistan. 11 year old Abdullah looks like any other school boy filled with full of innocence in his wide opened eyes.
He was the youngest of the Taliban fighters. While other kids at his age still find it difficult to pull the zip and Abdullah too at times, he could strip, load and fire a Kalashnikov rifle.
He starts his day by reading Koran and later trains in firing Kalashnikov and the pistol, about the foreigners that were coming to Muslim lands, killing women and children. Children like Abdullah and his younger brother Amin, who is 10. Abdullah’s weapon of choice was the Kalashnikov because he found the trigger of the pistol hard to pull.
Abdullah and his 10 year old brother Amin came in contact with a cousin who came to his school in Peshawar in Pakistan and took him to an outing where h met men over the mountains and into the Afghanistan.
Abdullah talks of the difference between suicide, which God forbade, and sacrifice, which is what you become if you blow yourself up, killing the non-Muslims who want to kill your family.
Afterwards you would go straight to heaven, with 70 girls. I suspect he didn’t care too much about the girls. But when I asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up, he said: “When I’m older I’ll kill non-Muslims. If I don’t, they’ll come to our homes and kill us.”
