Shocked American and Afghan troops are affirming the story of a 6-year-old boy who says he was recruited by the Taliban for a suicide bomb attack against U.S. soldiers.
Juma Gil, raised by an older sister in Afghanistan's southern Ghazni province, said Taliban fighters last month cornered him and forced him to wear a vest they said would spray out flowers when he touched a button, according to the Scotsman newspaper.
The fighters told him to "throw your body" at the American soldiers when he saw them.
"When they first put the vest on my body I didn't know what to think, but then I felt the bomb," Juma said through an interpreter at the joint U.S.-Afghan base in Ghazni, the Scotsman reported. "After I worked out it was a bomb, I went to the Afghan soldiers for help."
