Afghan girl, 10: the suicide bomber who got cold feet

Also tonight, the extraordinary tale of the 10-year-old Afghan girl who is persuaded by her older brother, a Taliban commander, to put on a suicide vest and blow up a police station. She abandoned her mission when she realised that in order to do so, she had to cross an icy river. The girl, known as Spozhmay, is afraid of cold water, and she decided to return home to her family where she was beaten up by her father for refusing to carry out the task.
