Terrorist group's actions revealed by 12-year-old girl escapee
IANSPublished: 00:00 December 30, 2010
Islamabad: Pakistani Taliban have established an all-women wing of suicide bombers to carry out terror missions across the country, dramatically revealed by a 12-year-old girl who managed to escape from the clutches of the rebels from near the Afghanistan border.
Meena Gul's brother, a Taliban commander, told her: "You will go to heaven before any of us, if you blow yourself up the way I tell you."
The Express Tribune reported yesterday that the girl was caught by security personnel from the Munda area near Dir district in January this year. The statements she gave nearly 11 months back came true following a woman's suicide bombing on December 25 that killed 46 people in Bajaur.
Meena Gul managed to escape from the Taliban guerrillas when militants' hideouts were reduced to rubble in a bombardment.
She spoke about a women's wing of the Taliban waiting to carry out suicide attacks.
"My sister-in-law, Zainab, was responsible for their training. She escorted eight women from our village to Afghanistan," Gul told The Express Tribune.
Zainab fought Pakistani security forces dressed as a man. Gul added: "My younger sister blew herself up in a suicide attack in Afghanistan. I, however, managed to escape. I was too scared."
A resident of Afghanistan, Meena Gul's family had travelled across Pakistan, residing in Karachi, Lahore and refugee camps in Peshawar, police records show.
Before the December 25 attack by a woman suicide bomber, the last such suicide attack by a woman was in December 2007 when she blew herself up at a checkpoint in Peshawar. The woman, in her 30s and wearing a burqa, was the only casualty.
