suicide vest was, according to reports yesterday, stopped by Afghan police as she tried to carry out a deadly attack.
Spozhmay was about to blow herself up and the people around her when Afghan soldiers spotted her and apprehended her just in time as she struggled to operate the detonator.During interrogation, the young girl, who was in a state of shock and confusion, confessed that her brother, a local Taliban commander, had sent her on the mission.
She was taken to the provincial capital of Lashkar Gah.
In July it emerged that Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan were bribing starving children as young as eight years old to plant deadly roadside booby traps, be decoys in ambushes and even act as suicide bombers.
In 2011 an eight-year-old girl died after she was tricked into carrying a concealed bomb close to a police vehicle, where it was remotely detonated.
