Reasoning Behind Teenage Female Suicide Bombing Might Have Become Exposed
Posted by HCN on Sunday, December 28, 2014
The report is a 14 year old teenage girl told journalists after being arrested with explosives strapped on her body on December 10th of 2014 in precluding events of a suicide bombing attempts in summary, her parents volunteered her to the cause of Boko Haram and took her to a Boko Haram hideout, from there, the girl was pressured to perform the sets of activities involved in a suicide bombing. The girl said she was threatened if she did not cooperate, verbatim from the source news story, the coercing tactics included to be 'shot' or paraphrased 'thrown in a dungeon' if she did not do it. Based on the referent article, it also appears the almost suicide bomber had very little to no understanding nor conception of what a suicide bombing is and what she was being led into.
How credible is the girl's story, and the news story--?-- some of the aspects of the story make sense, the comprehension of the social-local tension dynamics for her age appears to line up with classic examples of teenage abuse where the teen is old enough to understand some aspects and be technically held guilty or accountable, but not old enough to fully grasp the entirety of what they are being lured into, thus some level of innocence could exist. There are likely many other angles of examining what occurred as investigations progress.

Quick background:
In some regions of the world, in the culture, there still remains a system that includes an understanding that certain tiers of the social strata can be volunteered or 'donated' to someone, group, or collective entity.
Around the same time of the arrest incident, 2 female bombers attacked in a market in the northeastern part of Nigeria; which may have given rise to concern that a trend of that activity was starting to catch on.
Boko Haram is often defined as a group in Africa.
In law, generally speaking, it is safe to say that coercing a 14 year old girl to participate in suicide bombings, violates prohibition of exploiting, her age, level of abilities to leverage her personal perspectives, taking unfair advantage in naive, child labor, child abuse, and many others that can be named by those versed in applicable laws, including Sharia which is in very summary explained form the Arabic transliteration for Law in Islam.
