Boko Haram's suicide bomber girls often unaware they're carrying bombs: UN expert

Geneva (AFP) - Many of the young girls Boko Haram sends out as suicide bombers in Nigeria and neighbouring countries are probably unaware that they will be blown up, a UN expert said Tuesday.

Boko Haram jihadists have in recent months increasingly used young women and girls as suicide bombers in northeast Nigeria, northern Cameroon, Chad and Niger, leaving death and destruction in their wake.

Leila Zerrougui, the UN secretary-general's special representative on children and armed conflict, suggested Tuesday that especially the children used in this way were in many cases not aware of what they were about to do.

"Many of them don't know that they will be blown up with remote devices," she told reporters, pointing out many of the girls are as young as 11 or 12.

I find it amazing that the liberals display tolerance for the utter depravity inflicted upon their protected and voting blocks. Of course, those women can’t vote here and don’t have any bucks to contribute, so...who cares.

Muslims will vote democrat for generations.

They won't even need to vote for one entire generation, until there will be no more voting.

Caliphates don't hold elections.
