Calling child suicide bombers a "fearful and terrifying truth," President Hamid Karzai on Sunday freed a 14-year-old Pakistani boy arrested in eastern Afghanistan the night before he planned to kill a provincial governor.
Rafiqullah, who goes by one name, told The Associated Press in an interview over the weekend while attending a madrassa, or religious school, in Pakistan he and two other boys were separated from the rest of the students and trained to drive a car and made to watch videos of suicide bombers carrying out attacks.
The teenager said he walked across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border into Khost province, where a man named Abdul Aziz gave him a vest full of explosives. Rafiqullah said he told Aziz he was afraid of carrying out a suicide bombing, and Aziz pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him if he didn't.
Rafiqullah's intended target was the governor of Khost province.
