[QUOTE]QUETTA, Pakistan - In Pakistan's conflict-torn Balochistan, boys as young as 11 are being paid $20 to carry out bomb attacks by a militant separatist group that's been fighting the government for years.

Pakistani authorities discovered a network of child bombers after a 14-year-old was caught with a bomb in a shopping bag in March in Balochistan, a resource-rich province bordering Iran that has been wracked by violence for decades. The boy, Sabir, who was only identified by his first name, was apologetic and asked for forgiveness after he was caught. But others are defiant. Saddam Lehri, also 14, lost a leg after a bomb he planted in the grounds of a small, private hospital in the city of Quetta went off earlier than he expected. The blast last month injured another 17 people.

All admitted to planting bombs and said they were paid 2,000 rupees (roughly $20) for each "successful" bomb attack. Police said they have been able to link 14 attacks in the past four months to this group of boys.
The adults in the house – believed to be the boys' handlers – escaped after a firefight.
"Baloch militant groups are now using children to explode their bombs," Quetta City Police Chief Mir Zubair Mehmood said. "All these children are from poor families, and all have confessed that they were involved in planting bombs around Quetta."

God damn. It's nuts that we live in a world where if you want to have someone, or a lot of someones killed, it'll only cost you $20 to get a kid to plant a bomb for you. Fuuuuck that.
