Pakistan's top Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, is buying children as
young as 7 to serve as suicide bombers in the growing spate of attacks
against Pakistani, Afghan and U.S. targets, U.S. Defense Department and
Pakistani officials say.
A Pakistani official, who spoke on the condition that he not be
named because of the sensitive nature of the topic, said the going
price for child bombers was $7,000 to $14,000 - huge sums in Pakistan,
where per-capita income is about $2,600 a year.
