Nobody goes to one of the most dangerous countries in the world to back pack, that was a destination for them.
And reading that story, my guess was that he went there to join.

His father describes him (both of them) as quite naive. I suppose to a degree, I could see that, but as you said, it seemed far more calculated than "hey, I know, let's go backpacking in Taliban territory while you're heavily pregnant, dear."
Trying to understand this but nothing about it computes to me. But then again, Afghanistan wouldn't even be on my list of places to go backpacking even at peak health, never mind pregnant, not in its current unstable state.
