Nine-year-old Sohana Jawed was snatched off the street, drugged, outfitted in a suicide vest and told to go kill Pakistani policemen.

The third grader refused to cooperate, throwing off the vest as she ran toward police screaming for help, according to Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald newspaper.

Dressed in her blue school uniform and a white headscarf, Sohana told police in Pakistan’s city of Peshawar that she was abducted by two women and two men as she walked to school. The kidnappers threw her into their car and drugged her.  When she woke up and started crying, one of the women gave her cookies laced with something that again knocked her out. The next time she woke up, she found herself in a strange home.
