Background:
Pakistan's Taliban Generation investigates how the war on terror is creating a generation of child terrorists - children prepared to kill both inside and outside Pakistan.
With the recent attack in Lahore on the Sri Lankan cricket team, last year's massive suicide bombing in Islamabad and the assault on Mumbai, Pakistan's radical Islamists are bringing violence to the major cities of Pakistan and beyond.
Sharmeen is shocked by what she has discovered, and what it all means for her country: 'This new generation - brutalised and radicalised by poverty, indoctrination and war - are Pakistan's future.'
