Taliban Video Shows Teenage Suicide Bomber in Attack on Information Ministry

The suicide bomber in a Taliban attack on the Afghan information ministry in Kabul last October was shown in a video released by the group and looked like he was no more than15 years old.

The one hour and eight minutes video seemed to have been filmed from a building opposite the ministry of information. It showed a lone gunman, looking hesitant and walking towards the entrance of the ministry building. At one point he stops, takes a step back as if to turn around and go back where he came from, but ends up walking towards the ministry.

He is seen taking a gun out of his pocket and firing at the guards sitting inside the security shack outside the ministry, before running into the building.

Afghan security guards stood behind the shack, looking terrified and confused. Seconds later, a big explosion is heard and columns of smoke were seen rising from the building.

The video included aftermath footage from local television stations showing the damaged site of the ministry building.

The video then showed pictures of the perpetrator, who was shown dressed in a military uniform and carrying an AK47 at a training camp.
