PESHAWAR: The Peshawar police has foiled a massive terrorist act on Tuesday when it arrested a thirteen year old boy along with his operator and the bomb-disposal squad successfully defuse an explosive vest strapped around the teenager, reportedly trying to explode it at a fuel station, DawnNews reported.
According to initial reports, the young boy of around 13 years of age, tried to detonate a suicide vest strapped around him at a fuel station in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa capital.
Our correspondent Zahir Shah Sherazi added the suicide bomber is recognised as Bilal who belongs to Bar Qambarkhel area of Bara while his operator Jehangir, in his 20s, is stated to be a resident of Momin Town on Dalazak Road, Peshawar.
The bomb-disposal squad successfully removed the vest and the police took the boy and the operator to an unknown location for further investigation.
The boy said that he was forced to carry out the attack.
This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.

Thanks God! The origin of these suicide bombers should be traced and the preperators should not be arrested but they should be killed at sight. Otherwise our courts will leave them for their next mission. They are not human. I don't know how they use such innocent kids?

where are this kid's parents? do they realize that it is also their responsibility to raise their child as well other than happily bringing him to this world?
secondly, i'm rather impressed by the police that they actually caught these two would be killers. police must now capture their leaders/handlers.
once all the useful information is squeezed out of these two characters promptly hang them publicly and make sure their parents are given the front row seats so they can contemplate what garbage they raised and what they contributed to the society..

there is no way you can match conditions of Palestinian kids with that of in Pakistan. It would be very healthy exercise if you can refer where you read about this Palestinian kid from.

It truly is joyful as a Pakistani to get a great story like this that stands out against the constant barrage that we have become accustomed to. On another note, it might be a wise decision to divert some funds towards bomb disposal- we really aren't anywhere the technological level required for the threat we face.

Hey once they have caught him they should not have shown him on media because they sources behind him come to know about their person that he has been caught and now they will run away from their actual places from where they are running this suicide business, instead the police should have done a fake bomb blast and should have told media that this was suicide attack by a 13 years old child and meanwhile they should have traced the element behind this activity through that child and his operator, Although they have done good and that is hight appreciated. Bravo Zulu to peshawar police and BD

Great job police but this is where incompetence of government kicks in. Why can't they trace the people and destroy cells where these boys are trained? What else can be a bigger lead than having a suicide bomber in custody?

Excellent performance of KPK Police. The cops who apprehended the bombers deserve cash awards and higher promotions. Shame on those who are using underage immature children for acts of terrorism while they themselves just watch the blood shed and killings of innocent people.

One Palestinian in an Israeli prison said it was easier to recruits kids as suicide bombers because they were easier to convince how great paradise was going to be. We were all children once. Children do not make good decisions. If you are on a rocket to Paradise your life and the lives of others mean nothing. Catch the Heavenly Comet. It is better than this world. Especially if you are not eating three meals a day. It is reassuring that the man who sent him is afraid to die. Women and children are second class citizens to those on a mission from 'God.'
