Yesterday, The Blaze reported that a 9-year-old girl had allegedly been kidnapped by militants on her way to school. According to police, they forced her to wear a suicide bomb vest, but she managed to escape her captors as they directed her to attack a paramilitary checkpoint in northwest Pakistan. But, now, questions and doubts about the story are emerging.
The young girl, identified as Sohana Jawed, a third-grader, claimed that the abduction happened on Sunday. But, police in Peshawar, Pakistan, claim that there have been no complaints about a missing girl and that they have no evidence that a resident exists with that name. Also, they note that school has recessed for the summer and that no schools are open on Sundays. MSNBC has more:
Paramilitary officials say the girl was probably abducted from an area much farther north and kidnapped for ransom.
The girl comes from a poor family and her father is said to be a heroin addict, according to NBC News. After she was paraded in front of TV cameras, her family received death threats and have now gone into hiding, NBC reported.
Initial police reports of security incidents in Pakistan are sometimes wrong.
Police plan to have the girl spend some time with a psychiatrist and will question her once she is “normalized.” Hopefully they will then be able to gather more information about the girl’s family, alleged abduction, etc. Watch below for more from NBC:

(for that matter, why are they using the Huffpo for a lot of articles?)

Bingo.
She seems to have been sold / married by her father , to a taliban. She had no clue of the plot and couldn’t understand why a strange man grabbed her. The parents planned it all .
Its common in those parts of the world

Posted on June 21, 2011 at 6:43pm@Biohazaed. The fact they using the term “normalize” reinforces my thought that this little girl comes from a Christian family and “normalizing” means forced conversion to Islam. Claiming the father, who oddly enough they have not been able to identify, yet they still manage to assert he is a heroin addict supports my view even more. How is it they they cannot identify the family, yet they know the father is a heroin addict and that the family is poor and in hiding? That makes no sense, I mean how can they know about the family if they have not been able to identify the family?

I agree. Likely sold by her father for the price of a fix.
