Pictured: The dramatic moment a 15-year-old Iraqi suicide bomber gave herself up
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | August 26, 2008 | Staff

Posted on 08/26/2008 10:14:58 AM PDT by greyfoxx39

Tears streaming down her face, she is confronted by police - a teenage girl apparently planning to blow herself up in front of an Iraqi school.

The officers handcuffed her to a metal balustrade before moving in with extreme caution to uncover a vest full of explosives hidden under her colourful robe.

The dramatic scenes were captured on a video shot by the police.

-SNIP-

Police in Baqouba, where the girl was caught on Sunday, said she was fitted with the vest by female relatives of her husband, whom she married five months ago.

They also claimed that the girl's father was a suicide bomber, and her mother and one of her sisters were later arrested.

However, U.S. sources said that the girl turned herself in after being hooked up to the explosives against her will.

Biased article. Examples:

"Police paraded the girl before reporters after her arrest..."

"They believe that Al Qaeda is increasingly exploiting women unable to deal with the grief of losing husbands, parents and children since the U.S. invasion in 2003."

The use of drugs and addiction to drugs to make people do things they don’t want to do, is one of the best arguments for legal restrictions on many types of drugs. You can’t exercise your freedom if you’re physically addicted to something, even if you originally got that way under your own volition. Once you’re there, you’ll do practically anything that someone offering you more of the drug tells you to do. This kind of use of drugs is widespread by violent political/criminal groups in Asia, Africa, Middle East, and South America, and is used on a smaller scale in the US by gangs and pimps.

It was also reported that she’d been drugged.

Not surprising. The original Muslim 'hashisim', from whence came the term "assassin", were drugged with hashish before being sent out on their murderous errands, from which they usually did NOT return.

not a day goes by that we are told that the majority of Muslims are peace-loving...

And every day the animals-on-four legs remind us all that if only 10% of them are able and willing to kill indiscriminately, that "minority" consists of 120,000,000 of the little darlings spread world-wide...

Just saying.

That girl is 15??? She looks 35 years old.

Compare her to those, ahem, 16 year old Chinese gymnast. Those gymnast were 10 years old.

She's certainly not an anorexic teenager.

My guess is, they figured that would help hide the explosive belt beneath.

Bombs always add 15 pounds.

By the way, when is the MSM going to start calling Suicide Vests "SuVs"?

Hey, they are our “allies” - if you can call people you saved with much money and lives from a homicidal maniac dictator, and who are now giving us ultimatums to totally withdraw our forces from their country at the very time we need bases to prepare for troubles with Russia and Iran.

We may have “won” the battle with the Iraqi insurgents, but the people who “won” the strategic battle for Iraq were the Saudi Sunni Wahhabists.

I was thinking they probably marked her for other conduct, and rather waste the chance on a generic honor-killing, decided to, ahem, kill two birds with one stone and make it a homicide bombing. This probably explains the rise in female bombers as much as anything else.

Caption for second pic: Street Pickup Not For the Faint of Heart.

I think the guy is trying to number close but he hasn't built enough rapport. Also, the pistol and ammo belt peacocking is probably a little too over the top for day game. She's desperately eye-coding her girlfriends to come cockblock this AFC. His handcuffing her to the balustrade was a lousy opening gambit and he probably violated the 3-second rule, with her wearing that suicide vest and all. Talk about your major bitch shield!

I know I shouldn't make light of such a serious situation but taken in this context, the second picture strikes me as strangely out of place. If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, google 'Mystery Method.' It was a cable show about pickup artist.

I wish her all the best.

Now her family can have an honor killing - she was photographed without her robe on.
