Afghan children 'being abused'
Updated on 24 November 2008
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says the government and armed groups in Afghanistan are perpetrating "grave abuses" against children by recruiting them to fight.
In some cases, the Taliban are turning them into suicide bombers.
In his first report to the UN Security Council on children and armed conflict in Afghanistan, Ban also called for greater attention to the problem of sexual abuse against children, especially boys, by members of the armed forces and armed groups.
