Family Kidnapped and
Children forced to become Suicide-bombers?
During the interrogations both
boy and girl admitted that they have 5 family members and all have been
kidnapped by the men of KIA Eight Battalion Fourth Brigade on 5 November 2012 after
being accused of informing KIA activities near their home village to the Burmese Army.
The whole family was then
handed to Zay Zaung (a) La Zaung the Brigade Commander of KIA Special Brigade
which has been blowing up passenger trains, power lines, and other civilian
targets. There the two siblings were picked up and given one-week-long
explosive trainings and sent to Mandalay then Naypyidaw to blow up government
ministers.
They also told their interrogators
that their father, mother, and baby sister being kept at the KIA Special
Brigade as hostages would be executed once KIA found out about their capture at
Myitkyinar train station.
