RASC News Agency: Reliable sources informed RASC that, several religious schools in the southern, southeastern, and northern provinces of Afghanistan are reportedly training young students for suicide bombing operations. These sources indicate that one of the leaders of these schools disclosed a verbal directive from the Taliban leadership, mandating the preparation of 100,000 suicide bombers over the next five years. This training is aimed at utilizing the youth as a military force for the Taliban regime. The schools in question have been strategically established in specific provinces, where dozens of students are currently engaged in learning methods for conducting suicide and explosive attacks both inside Afghanistan and abroad.
The training process is methodically organized into two phases. The first phase focuses on theoretical teachings, where students are ideologically and psychologically groomed for the mission. They are indoctrinated with extreme interpretations of religious texts to justify their involvement in suicide missions. The second phase is practical and lasts between one and three months. During this time, the students are trained in the technical aspects of carrying out suicide bombings, bomb-making, and other forms of insurgent warfare. Once they complete their training, they are sent to specialized units within the Taliban’s military apparatus, where they await further orders for deployment in future missions.
Reports from the region suggest that these religious schools are proliferating across key provinces, fueling concerns about the recruitment and radicalization of vulnerable youth. Previously, Pakistani media had also reported similar activities in schools located in the Nangarhar and Kunar provinces, where specialized training in suicide bombings had been documented. These developments highlight the growing nexus between education and extremism in areas under Taliban control, as young minds are systematically turned into weapons of terror.
