KHAR, Pakistan – A burqa-clad female suicide bomber in Pakistan lobbed hand grenades, then detonated her explosive belt among a crowd at an aid center Saturday, killing at least 45 people in militants' latest strike against the authorities' control over the key tribal region bordering Afghanistan.

Police believed it was the first time Islamic militants have sent a woman to carry out a suicide attack in Pakistan, where the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan against al-Qaida and the Taliban insurgents continues to spill over despite Islamabad's repeated claims of victory on its side of the porous border.

The bomber, dressed in the head-to-toe burqa robes that women commonly wear Pakistan and Afghanistan, was challenged by police at a check point, officials said.

She then charged toward a group of 300 people lined up outside the food aid distribution center in the town of Khar, tossing two hand grenades before blowing herself up. . . .

What motivates women of Islam is beyond me.

That's incomprehensible to me, too. Truly incomprehensible.

A female suicide bomber goes to a paradise where she stays young forever. And no sex.

Holy shiite! I think my wife is a muslim!

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Are they sure it was a female and not a male dressed in a burka?

They spent a few hours looking for the clitoris before realizing that, in the Religion of Peace, it is removed when the girl is very young.

It would probably be best for the human race if all muzzies just committed suicide, those that refuse should just be extermnated.

I don't have much knowledge about Islamists and can never understand why they will hate other people so much for no PERSONAL reason that they have to kill. The only explanation is these Islamists are made either crazy or plain evil by their Sharia Law. For the good of mankind, Sharia Law shall not exist on the Earth.

Suicide bombings.

Just one of the many cultural differences of Islam that we must value and embrace.

> Do you know where the “Religion of Peace” expression came from?

Yep. From George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States, when addressing the Nation on the attacks of 9-11-01.

He was fatally wrong then, and he is still fatally wrong now, if he believes that.
