Taliban has claimed responsibility for kidnapping 12 kids in Pakistan
A Taliban group has claimed responsibility for kidnapping a dozen children from a high school in northwestern Pakistan, a Pakistani military source said Wednesday.
Armed militants stormed into the school on Tuesday and abducted 15 children, three of whom managed to escape, the source said.
Twelve children were missing after the kidnapping at the Nazarabad Government high school in Arkot Tehsil Matta, a village in the Swat region of the North West Frontier Province, the source said.
The militants rounded up the children, took them outside, put them in several cars and drove off, the source added.
Muslim Khan, spokesman for a Taliban group led by radical cleric Maulana Fazlullah, has accused the school’s students of spying for Pakistani security forces in the Swat region.
Fazlullah’s militant group has launched a violent campaign to enforce Taliban-style laws. They have also been blamed for destroying scores of schools in the region, most of them girls’ schools, calling them un-Islamic.
This is possible that kidnappers can use these kids in suicide bombing in Pakistan
