A terrorist who allegedly recruited Afghan children to serve as suicide bombers has been taken into custody, US officials reported Sunday. The arrest was made south of the Afghan capital of Kabul. A second rebel sympathiser had been taken into custody the night before in operations in the province of Logar.
The two belonged to the Hakkani Network, considered to be "one of the deadliest Taliban organisations" and had been active in the troubled Afghan area along the Pakistani border.
