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

Posted on 05/14/2008 7:32:18 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.

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.

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

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!

Yet there are people who will not see this as newsworthy enough to supplant an Abu Ghraib story.

Guess now they only have 71 virgins...

I'd almost like to believe that but given that these monsters were already sending her out to die, don't make ANY ASSUMPTIONS.

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.

"What kind of mad dogs strap explosives to little girls?"

The kind loved by the tolerant and intellectually enlightened left like Dhimmi Carter, Barack Hussein, Cindy Sheehan, most of Hollywood and the music industry...and of course, Hillary and Bill.

You sure got that right! If it were up to me, I would send every Mooselimb in this country back to their damn sand box. While at it I would send Barack Hussein Obammy along with them.

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.

Well over 30 years ago, Golda Meir said that the Muslims will stop killing "When they love their children more than they hate us."

Not there yet.

The girl did not have the ability to refuse. This is child abuse and murder on the part of the death cult members.

??? What is the basis for your claim?

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?

I would start with a ballpeen hammer, and an anvil to break their balls...

Then, I would allow them to meet God face to face. I believe He will approve!

I’ve emailed two of the hosts on local Akron station WNIR. I hope they’ll talk about this.

They have used women before, successfully. I don't really remember about little girls...there were some homicide bombings with young boys, IIRC.

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.

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

Of course, Obama would like to sit down and talk with the madman who sponsors it.

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.
