LASHKARGAH (PAN): A 10-year-old girl, forced by her brother into carrying out a suicide bombing, surrendered to police in southern Helmand province, an official said on Monday.

The girl turned in herself to the sixth border zone police in Khanshin district, the police commander, Col. Hamidullah Siddique, told reporters.
