Teen trained to be a suicide bomber

In Afghanistan, a 14 year old boy has been convicted of plotting to kill himself and others as a suicide bomber. The boy, who's name is Shakirullah, (one name is given to people in tribal regions) is already a convicted terrorist for planning to carry out a suicide bombing. He says that muslim radicals lied and tricked him into becoming a would be bomber. Shakirullah says now that the only thing he wants the most is to just see his parents again. He has been sentenced to serve at least 5 years behind bars and will be switched to an adult prison after a few years. When asked about what kind of people he thought the British and Americans were, he said; "I don't know. God knows what type of people they are, whether they are good or bad. I don't know them."
