Baghdad - The Iraqi army said on Thursday it had seized a number of booby-trapped children's dolls, accusing insurgents of using the explosive-filled toys to target children.
The dolls were found in a car, each one containing a grenade or other explosive, said an army statement.
The government said that two men driving the car had been arrested in the western Baghdad district of Abu Ghraib.
"This is the same type of doll as that handed out on several occasions by US soldiers to children," said government spokesperson Leith Kubba.
It was not immediately clear when the find was made or the suspects arrested

I heard that the bombing at the hospital today in Iraq took place there because US soldiers were giving out toys to Iraqi children. Bold Muslim "insurgents," targeting children...Muslim children, at that.

A wellspring of depravity.
This kind of stuff doesn't surprise me in the least anymore.
To: baystaterebel
They would not doubt murder a few children and then try to blame the US troops. It wouldn't work on Iraqis because only the loony left here in the US would believe it.

The terrorists are targeting wedding, hospitals, children -- I think it's time for the "Arab and Muslim streets" to wake up and rise up against the terrorists.
To: NY Attitude
It probably was one of those Cindy Sheehan look-alike dolls. 8^)

Now that you mention it, she is one of the terrorists greatest supporters so I guess it would make sense for them to have look-alike dolls of her. I would think they would blow up Ann Coulter dolls instead.

I don't care where they live, animals that would do something like this need to be wiped from the face of the Earth.

I think it's time for the "Arab and Muslim streets" to wake up and rise up against the terrorists. Only one problem with this idea, the Arab and Muslim street is the terrorists. One side of the street against the other.
