"She said she was scared because she knew she would kill people. But she was also frightened of going against the instructions of the men who brought her to the camp," said Modu Awami, a self-defence fighter who helped question the girl.
This is a powerful story. I got the impression however, that she somehow didn't think she would die. As in like, if I were told to suicide bomb some place, you're damn sure i'm not going to be afraid of disobeying their orders(Unless some specific arrangement like "You don't do this and i'll kill your family"). I would be thinking about how to escape, actually going through with it would be the last option, and I definitely wouldn't choose that option because I was scared of what they would do to me if I didn't.
Thoughts?

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
