(Sydney Morning Herald) — BOYS as young as 12 are being used by the Taliban as spies and suicide bombers as part of a campaign against the Kabul government, with two young Afghans picked up by an Oruzgan police command in recent days.

The two boys were arrested by the Afghan National Police (ANP) commander in charge of the Mirabad Valley, an area previously known as a Taliban stronghold.

The Herald was present at a security shura at the village of Sorkh Lez when one of the boys was brought out and paraded in front of about 30 elders as an admonition against aiding the Taliban.

The other boy, who is believed to be as young as 12, has been taken to the provincial capital, Tarin Kowt.

The ANP commander, Shah Mohammad, says the pair were sent by the Taliban to kill him.

”The mullahs in Pakistan brainwash him and then send him here to kill people,” Shah Mohammad told the elders, according to a man who translated.

The Herald cannot verify his claims. However, similar claims have been made recently by other elements of Oruzgan’s security forces, particularly that boys are being recruited to target prominent Afghans working with the Karzai government.
