Prisoner of Jihad
A Boy's Journey to Afghanistan Leads a Father to
Despair
By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN, TIMES STAFF WRITER

excerpts:

LAHORE, Pakistan -- Faisal Rahman pushed through the
streets, looking for his boys.

It was just after sunup. The crowds in Lahore were
already hot and unruly. His two sons, Bahram, 16, and
Moona, 12, worked at a tea cart, putting little white
cups on little cracked saucers and serving
boiling-hot tea.

But when he got there, Bahram was gone.

'Not Our Problem'

A Northern Alliance security official said he too was
helpless. "It's wrong what they're doing," Shajaudin
said, as he lighted a clove cigarette. He said Bahram
was being held in a private jail by a local
commander. "We can ask him to release the boy, but we
can't make him, because that could cause trouble."

Shajaudin said at least 1,500 prisoners, mostly boys,
were being held in private jails.

Could it be that Bahram was being sexually abused?

"It is a custom," Shajaudin declared, blowing a ring
of sweet-smelling smoke around his head. "With boys
that age, before they have hair on the faces, these
things happen."

A Game of Horror

"Sometimes," Rahman said, "I wish Bahram had been
martyred."

We went from Lahore to a village near Gunbat Banda,
where Jimshade said he too was a follower of the
mullah Sufi Mohammed. He said he had gone to the girls
school in Mazar-i-Sharif and was captured. He spent
six weeks as a slave, he said, before his family
bought his freedom for the equivalent of $1,100.

"The soldiers do things to you," he said, "that make
you want to kill yourself.

"They have this game--they think they are so clever
for thinking it all up--they call keel," which means
"nail."

"They start with the youngest prisoners and ask them
their age," he continued. "If a boy says 13, they send
13 soldiers to him. If he says 16, the boy gets 16."

The soldiers take turns raping the boys, Jimshade
said. "They take them to an underground room and hold
the boys down, and the whole house fills with
screaming, and the soldiers yell louder than the
screaming, like they are mad or crazy or have turned
into wild animals: 'Keel! Keel!'

"Sometimes," he said, his voice shrinking, "I still
hear them."

Faisal Rahman, a watchman living under a blanket on
the roof of a mosque with a bar of yellow soap and a
little jug of water, has been trying to save 10 rupees
a day to free his son.

At that rate, it would take him 34 years.

On Nov. 19, 2001, Sufi Mohammed, the mullah who had
recruited Bahram and the other boys from Gunbat Banda,
was arrested by Pakistani authorities, along with 29
of his followers, near the Afghan border.
He was sent to prison for seven years for carrying
lethal arms and entering Pakistan illegally.

Bahram remains in captivity.
