Girl, Eight, In Iraq Suicide Bombing
Sky News ^ | May 14, 2008 | Staff

Posted on 05/14/2008 7:32:28 AM PDT by moderatewolverine

An eight-year-old girl strapped with explosives has blown up and killed an Iraqi army captain, reports say.

The bomb was detonated by remote control, injuring four soldiers in addition to the one who died, an Iraqi Army spokesman said.

Local authorities imposed a curfew in the area and American troops launched a search for those responsible.

US soldiers have not confirmed that a young girl was involved in the attack, which took place near Youssifiyah, south of the capital, Baghdad.

If there's anything positive we can take away from this, it's that they're getting desperate.

The girl did not have the ability to refuse. This is child abuse and murder on the part of the death cult members. It’s obvious that NO death cult member should EVER be allowed into this country.

They use children, women, and the mentally disabled as suicide bombers.

But as the NYT would tell you -- we're the bad guys. We should just leave and allow the terrorists to take over the whole place. We should do it for the children, I suppose.

I'd love to meet and spend a few hours with the adult men who strapped the explosives to this little girl.

I'd make sure they went much, much slower than this child did.

I’m surprised they didn’t resort to using girls and/or women earlier, since boys and men are considered so much more important and valuable over there.

The cowardly muslim adults didn't have the stomach to do this so they send in a baby who now has no stomach.

Wonderful religion.

We could use people with guts like this in our nation.

Their goal here is the ultimate PR victory of an American service member purposefully shooting an innocent little girl. That and they are running out of young adult male martyrdom volunteers.

Muslims obviously. Since there is no outrage in the Muslim community worldwide about such an act, then we can infer that they approve by their silence.

This is a sick sad statement. That you value your children so little you’re willing to use them as tools of your hate.

May God bless and embrace that child. And may God judge that parent accordingly.

Same thing the Palis do...drug up the kids so they're barely ambulatory, send them in to do the adults' dirty work, and then detonate them by remote...and Democrats LOVE these terrorists!

What a sad world it is when we have to continually make a case for fighting a war against these wicked people.

We shouldn’t even have to “make a case” for complete extermination of such vermin. Annihilation should be a foregone conclusion.

The girl is most likely unaware she had a bomb on her, remote detonation tells me they tricked her into getting close to the target, told to ask for candy and BOOM.
Hadn;t heard of this tactic since Vietnam era fighting.

They probably want to coax soldiers into shooting younger suicide bombers.
Not only do they kill their targets, but it can be used as propaganda for more recruitment.
Extremely slick and cruel.
This enemy is more determined than any other.
Meanwhile obama wants to pull out.

Obviously, there's no immediate outrage among the various American media, the assorted pundits and writers representing both parties or the leaders and candidates of both parties.

The obamanible tactics of our enemy are now merely routine blips on the radar screen.

Not there yet.

It’s obvious that NO death cult member should EVER be allowed into this country.

But you just said that this little girl was innocent.

Which is it?

Didn't somebody write that the children may be orphans, whose parents may have been killed during fighting between government troops and Shiites loyal to Sadr.

Regardless, they do instruct their children starting when they can speak, to hate Jews and American infidels.

Afghan teacher killed for preaching against suicide bombing

KABUL: An Afghan teacher who preached against suicide bombings was killed by unknown armed men in the northern part of the country, officials said on Wednesday.

The school teacher was killed by gunfire in Archi district of the northern province of Kunduz Tuesday night, said Juma Khan, the administrative chief of the district. [snip]

He said the teacher had recently condemned the wave of suicide bombings in the country and termed them as “un-Islamic” during a speech at a gathering in the district.

This is NOT a suicide bombing. The blast was detonated remotely making it murder, and that poor child was just a victim, along with the Captain and other soldiers.

Muslims: strapping explosives to little girls is ok
Aztec priests: sacrifice them to Tlaloc and eat the flesh of the children afterwards ... ok
Thugees: Strangle the little girl and her parents, slit the bellies and bury the bodies as a sacrifice to Kali ... ok

2 of these religions have been wiped off the face of the Earth. One is pending.

I have an eight year old little girl. This was not a “suicide” bombing. Absolutely no way on earth she “knew” what she was doing. This is abject murder. We must defeat the evil of Islam. Period. Obama as President would show me that this country has learned absolutely NOTHING about the evils of Islam and we’ll be doomed to failure in this war.

If the bomb was detonated remotely, it was not a suicide bombing. It was murder, with the girl being the first victim.

Well, yeah, ALLEGEDLY they get hold of orphans, but other terrorists just choose a kid, drug them and send them in. A lot of terrorist nests in the PA terrortories brainwash their children from birth to blow up. That cartoon about wanting to “blow up just like daddy” is the absolute best of satire: because it’s the absolute truth. So there’s no telling where they got this girl. They probably kidnapped her off the street.
