She had a male suicide-companion but, for some odd reason, he "failed to detonate his explosives vest."
"Female suicide bomber kills 11 in Baquba," from the Associated Press, October 8:
BAGHDAD: A female suicide bomber detonated an explosives vest Wednesday in a city northeast of Baghdad, killing 11 people and wounding 19, Iraqi officials said.The attack occurred around 11:30 a.m. in front of a courthouse in central Baquba, the provincial capital of Diyala, one of the most violent areas in Iraq, the police said.
It was apparently intended to be a double suicide bombing, but a man accompanying the woman failed to detonate his explosives vest and was arrested at the scene, said Ibrahim Bajilan, the provincial council chief.
"We were inside the court building when we heard a thunderous explosion followed by people's cries," said Abu Mohammed, a 55-year-old lawyer who was in the courthouse at the time. "We rushed outside the building. We couldn't see anything because smoke was everywhere."
Abu Mohammed, who would only give his nickname for security reasons, said the target of the attack appeared to be Iraqi Army Humvees parked nearby. He said about five shops in front of the courthouse had been damaged.
"failed to detonate his explosives vest."
No. I won't. It's just too easy.
Okay, just this: Abu isn't going to get a whole lot of respect from his jailed Muslim brethren.
"What's that, my brother? She blew up, but you chickened out?"
Obviously a homosexual who had no interest in the promised 72 virgins.
What he'll get next is more tangible.
Iraqis are blowing up their own country.
Their fellow Iraqis must stop them. No one else can.
Yet another suicide bomber? So what? The banality of evil manifests itself again. Islam is the root cause here of course; a more confused system of thinking would be hard to find. And just consider for a moment a deity which would approve of suicide bombing. Wouldn't such a deity be a cosmic monstrosity? Powerful to be sure, but not admirable. Not in the least. Muslims of the world, your religion is rotten, even if it's true. Ponder that.
This is so strange, a woman detonated before the man.
Ladies first?
"She had a male suicide-companion but, for some odd reason, he "failed to detonate his explosives vest."
That's one way to break off a relationship.
Why is it that former US Marines are saying that our military has the intel that the MSM has been paying Al Qaeda for these bombings?
Apparently in getting the "scoop" on each other they are aiding and abetting these wackos. This includes, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, AP, Reuters, etc...
Maybe he tried to detonate, but had a bum vest...stuck button or something...I wonder if the authorities ever track down the recruiters and trainers when they get a live bomber?

Holy shite!
"There must be 50 ways to leave your lover...."
Punishment in this one seems a no-brainer (pun intended) on this--just put the idiot in a hole with his vest on in the ground and detonate the SOB. But no, under US judicial guidance--he'll get a trial and jail and get out.
Nah, he just needs to take it back to his local Mo-Mart for a refund or in-store credit.
Bleeping morons.
Maybe after he saw her head go one way and her legs another, he changed his mind?
Poverty, I'm sure.
Maybe he just didn't love her anymore. Maybe he just didn't have the stones to state "I divorce you" three times and send her packing. Or maybe he stutters and this was a way to avoid that kind of embarrassment.
No 72 raisins for this guy.
Looks like they were mismatched. I guess his temperament just wasn't as explosive as hers.
Actually, I'll bet she was tricked into this, or threatened into it. We won't get her side of the story. Obviously, neither one was a very bright bulb.
Another soul who had the surprise of her life when she reailzed that she did not go up, but all the way down, to the bottomless pit, that is, the eternal fire.
Sad sad...
Welcome to Dar Al Suicide Bombing - Welcome to Hell.
Does this mean there are now 73 Virgins in Paradise?
What a life. Screwed forever.
