Young children in Pakistan have been brainwashed in the name of religion.
**A 12-YEAR-OLD schoolboy killed 31 cadets at an army recruitment centre in a Taliban revenge attack. **
The young suicide bomber — wearing his school uniform — struck in response to crackdowns by the Pakistani government on Taliban militants in tribal border areas with Afghanistan.
The Taliban claimed responsibility blaming US drone strikes after the child walked into the heavily guarded compound and detonated his device.
Senior police officer Abdullah Khan said: “It was a suicide attack. The bomber was on foot and was wearing a school uniform.”
Militants threatened “bigger attacks” in the coming days.
The assault was the deadliest suicide bombing in Pakistan since a woman with a bomb strapped under her burka killed 43 people at a UN food station on Christmas Day last year.
The explosion happened in the north-west town of Mardan earlier today and left a further 35 people wounded.

Former general Talat Masood said: "It seems the Taliban are still a very potent force because they continue to attack installations, even if they have been quiet for a time.
“They re-assert themselves after a while, and it will be a while before we consider them to be less of a threat.”
Last March, two suicide bombers targeted the Pakistani military killing at least 45 people in the city of Lahore.
Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani condemned the attack as “cowardly”.

Re: 12 yo school boy kills 31 Pakistani army cadets in suicide bomb blast
I understand that it might not go well with some people, but I think one way to stop suicide bombing is to destroy/bulldoze the houses where these terrorists come from. This way, they will think thousand times before they go out in public to blow themselves and kill innocent people/LEA's.

Bulldozing houses will fuel the fire even more, Isreal hasn't had much luck with that. What Pakistan needs is deep espionage circle in the areas, infiltrate huge amounts into Taliban circles or use 'sound detectors' and listen to conversations in suspected houses then attack that way govt will have proof of who really dwelled in that house to counter the propaganda of Taliban so they won't play victim.

Inna Lillahe Wa inna ilaihe Rajiyon
May Allah(SWT) help us. These incidents should be investigated and real culprit must be caught. Maybe we can ask Scotland yard or Saudi Intelligence service or someone more capable than Pakistani corrupt police to investigate this. Britain is a very good friend of Pakistan The boy might be some local boy from sarhad but I suspect a bigger foreign power must be behind all this. Someone who want to de-stabilize Pakistan and whose people believe in a religion that's different than ours and that's why they have no interest in seeing Pakistan progress? Just my thoughts....

This idea has been the cause of easier recruitment of these kids in the first place.
