The girl appeared at press conference in Lashkar Gah, capital of the southern province of Helmand, where she told how her brother had forced her to wear the vest and ordered her to detonate herself at a police checkpoint."I was tired of my stepmother. My brother told me to wear the black vest, go to the police checkpoint and press the button," she told reporters. AFP PHOTO/Noor Mohammad (Photo credit should read NOOR MOHAMMAD/AFP via Getty Images)
