Police arrested two 10-year-old “would-be bombers” in southern Afghanistan, officials said on Sunday, months after President Hamid Karzai pardoned them over a similar incident. “The two 10-year old would-be bombers were arrested along with three other militants last week, while planning an attack on Afghan and international forces in Kandahar”, Zalmai Ayubi the provincial spokesman told AFP. The children had two vests full of explosives when they were arrested, he added. They had previously been arrested by security forces when both were wearing explosive vests. The two boys had gone to Pakistan after they were released but were sent back to Afghanistan after being trained to conduct suicide attacks.
