A friend of my family has served in Iraq and Afghanistan and will be going back soon. He says the Taliban use children to warn them of when the army is coming and on their whereabouts when they are patrolling. A child with a phone is something the forces are very wary of.
So if the Taliban do it, who is to say the troops don't do the same?
The Taliban use fear as a weapon to get the local people to support them. This is another way of doing that.
