UNICEF’s report, 'Child Alert: Afghanistan', is based on reporting from UNICEF UK Ambassador Martin Bell’s July 2007 trip to that war-torn country, where children are increasingly not only caught in the crossfire but are also the intended targets of violence. Children are victims of attacks on schools, clinics and roadside bombs, have been forcibly recruited by militants and have even been used as suicide bombers – a phenomenon virtually unheard of in Afghanistan three years ago.
