Teenager "kidnapped" for suicide mission

When recruitment fails, there's always force. Or is this story just Sadiqullah's attempt to avoid prosecution? "Waziristan teenager ‘kidnapped’ from Peshawar for suicide mission in Karachi," by Zar Nageen in the Daily Times, with thanks to DFS:

KARACHI: A teenager from South Waziristan has surfaced in Karachi with the extraordinary tale of being kidnapped by people who told him that they would make him carry out target killings and a suicide attack.
Sadiqullah, who says he is 14, told Daily Times from the office of the Ansar Burney Welfare Trust Friday that he was kept in a comfortable place with many other boys and five girls.

According to him, he is a class eight student who boards at a hostel of the Frontier Children Academy, Hayatabad, Peshawar. His father Sardar Ali Khan is a businessman from South Waziristan. He claims he was kidnapped from his hometown on January 16 and reached Karachi Thursday night where he turned up at the Karachi Press Club after spending three days with his kidnappers.

[...]

Sadiqullah asked the abductors how they managed to make a video of them while they were in the academy. He was told that they had been following him and his friend for several months and wanted them to perform some special task. They said that they would also bring Irfan in a few days and then they would have to commit several murders and a suicide attack.

Sadiqullah said that it was impossible for him to kill anything. Upon this, the kidnappers signalled to the other boys in the room who started beating him. He said that he fought back and was injured. He was tied in a corner of the room and was told that he should think over his decision for which he was given 25 minutes. Eventually, Sadiqullah said he agreed to kill others in order to protect his own life.

Read it all.

"Albanian gun-runner embraces the man he set out to kill"

"Interview with Fatmir Kaloshi by Paul Alkazraji"
Special to ASSIST News Service

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ALBANIA (ANS) -- My name is Fatmir Kaloshi. When I’ve set out to beat someone, I’ve beaten him… I’ve wounded him.

This was the only instance it wasn’t working! It was gnawing at me for an hour or two, until I lay unconscious.

I liked to keep strong company: physically and in terms of wealth. Poor or weak people weren’t on my list. In fact, I said of them: “Let them die!” Often, as I drunk alcohol I didn’t pay, and I humiliated people. I used to tell the waiter or the owner to come crawling towards me and ask forgiveness for charging me the cost. I wanted to be the commander.

Life has not been so bad to us, because we’ve had some help from my aunt living in Sweden. My father worked in the copper factory in the city of Kukës. In 1996, I started to work as a builder in Macedonia. But since 1997, apart from that work, I did some ‘other business’. I’ve been involved in running guns, which I used to buy in Albania. It was a very profitable job. Being hungry for money, I was ready to sacrifice my life. I always protected myself by keeping some bombs in my belt. “If I die, at least I will also take two or three of those (Serbians) with me,” I thought.

In 2002, I came back to Albania. One day, I saw some Christian books such as ‘Who is God?’ at my house. After asking who brought them, my mother said that they were from very good and open people, and that they prayed to God far more than we did. I got angry and started to tear the books saying that I was a Muslim! I hated Slavs and Christians. “I will kill them,” I said to her."
