Unrepentant: Teen suicide bomber vows to try again
"I want to be a martyr," 14-year-old Pakistani says after explosives fail to detonate
MULTAN, Pakistan — His accomplices brought carnage to a Sufi shrine, but the 14-year-old suicide bomber who was captured after his explosives failed to detonate was unrepentant.
"Let me go, I want to be a martyr," he said as he was being led away, according to police officer Khalid Mahmood. "I want to send all you policemen to hell!"
The shrine was targeted because Islamist extremists regard the veneration of Sufi saints — a much loved and widespread practice in Pakistan — as un-Islamic.
Mahmood said Hussain and the other attacker were at the shrine for around one hour before striking. When Hussain's vest failed to detonate, he threw a grenade but it exploded close to him, blowing off his hand. Police then fired at him, hitting him in his other arm.

Personally, I think they should stand him up against a wall, and give him his wish....Make him a martyr.
