Afghan girl, 10, 'forced to wear suicide vest' She was strapped into a bomb harness by one of her elder brothers and sent across a river to her target in southern Helmand. He said Zahir was yet to be arrested and Spogmai had asked them not to send her back home, fearing her family would punish her. Afghan security officials say many young suicide bombers are ferried from religious schools in Pakistan's tribal regions. In another development, the Afghan government announced it will release 88 prisoners seen as posing a security threat by the US, ignoring warnings from Washington ahead of a planned pullout of international forces from the country later this year. The decision has angered US officials, who say the 88 prisoners are Taliban fighters involved in attacks that killed at least 60 US soldiers and more than 50 civilians. Telegraph, London; AAP
