An eight-year-old Pakistani girl was allegedly kidnapped by militants who forced her to wear a suicide vest to attack security forces in the country's northwest, police said today.

Suhana, a student of Class 3, said she was kidnapped from her hometown of Peshawar yesterday by two women and a man.

"They asked me to come close to them and then they placed a handkerchief on my face and I fell unconscious," she told the media.
