Iraq: Ten-year-old suicide bomber

"Iraq: 'Child' Bomber Dies As US Military Raises Alarm Over Roadside Attacks," from AKI, with thanks to Kemaste:

Baghdad, 1 Nov. (AKI) - A child thought to be just ten years old, wearing an explosives belt, has died in a roadside explosion at the al-Quds intersection, near the oil rich city of Kirkuk. The 'suicide' attack occurred as a car carrying a senior Iraqi police official, Colonel Khatab, passed by. The official and his driver were wounded and are being treated in hospital. The report of such a young child being used for terror attacks comes as the US military issued a report showing how difficult it can be for its soldiers to prevent roadside bombs....

Military commanders in Iraq expect attacks by Sunni insurgents to intensify ahead of the 15 December parliamentary elections and warn that roadside bombs are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

First off - I'll reserve comment until I know for sure the pictures are in fact what the commentary states.

It should not come as a shock to me, but yet, I still am dismayed that these barbaric parisites on humanity have no love for their own children.

Could part of it be that as a muslim female , if your whole purpose in life and society was to be a brood sow, you wouldn't care about your children?.....

Then again, even sows (female pigs)that are kept as breeding stock on farms still protect their young...

Convincing the 10 yr old boys to become suicide bombers removes the competiton for the 55 yr old mullahs for the best 9 yr old girls.

this is street-theatre. these 'performances' are done for money. there is a better description and a translation on LGF, i believe.

Posted by: stevezilla [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 2, 2005 4:26 PM

skip it -scratch that - ignore this. Let's stick to truth. Unlikely that the boy was being harmed as punishment - it appears staged as a possible stunt.

I don't find this "stunt" to be particularly acceptable but at least it's not mullah abuse.

Found the originals...with Farsi. Anybody speak Farsi?

Outrage over using pre-pubescent children as assasins, anyone? UN/UNICEF? Amnesty International? League of Arab States? CAIR? Hello, is anybody out there?

But if an infidel guard's hand should accidentally touch a Qur'an during a cell search at Guantanamo, well, that's another story. There would be a hue and cry across the lands.

Not to be insensitive, but how can a 10 year old ghost jihadi service his 72 virgins? Maybe they just bring him 72 chocolate milkshakes and leave it at that.

These tactics are old; the VC used to pull the same sh** back in Nam.

So now the next time you read about troops neutralizing one of these -- you will hopefully have an appreciation for why!

Bastard scum.

witness;

From what we know about these soulless scumbags, it could be that they're trying to make our guys start treating the kids as targets. with the low threshold muslims have for foaming, frothing, psychotic rage, imagine the publicity value, courtesy of our lovely MSM, of a couple of US-shot 10-year-olds.

When I see stories like this, and then hear not so much as a stutter-step from the apologists and the MC/PC/ME left, I have a hard time believing that the world has not lost it's mind.

Even if you want to place the blame for EVERY muslim grievance throughout history on the eeeeeevil, colonialist West and the Joooos, when you are dealing with "people" who will strap a bomb to a 10 year old boy, one of their own, and intentionally turn him into a pink mist in the hopes of killing an infidel, it is time to thin the human herd, aggressively.

Posted by: t-ham [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 2, 2005 8:35 PM

yep, time for a scum cull. Its the height of bad madness when they splatter themselves all over commuters/office workers/vacationers, but when they blow-up their own kiddies or even drive over their little arms, its time to take out the garbage.

I find the use of children as suicide bombers disgraceful beyond words. Although it does make me wonder whether there should be a Darwin Award equivalent for Jihadis. Taking themselves out of the genepool could be seen as a positive aspect of what is a terrible situation.

Then I came across this one on news.com.au which fits even better:

A SUSPECTED Islamic militant accidentally killed himself while preparing a bomb attack...

"One man in his mid-20s died in a blast at a high-voltage power pole. We only found the lower part of his body, and we are still trying to identify him," Colonel Nukun Kraithong said.

"We suspect that he was killed while detonating the bomb because he was not skilful enough to do it."


Cheerio all.

Is it their own children that the recruiters don't love or is it someone else's? The example of Sheik Qawadari, who advocates martyrdom for other peoples' children but sends his own brood of six to various American and British Universities, and those proud mothers of martyrs that the PA likes to trot out on PA TV (heavily propagandaized and paid off by the PA) I'm not so sure that all Muslim parents are keen on having their own children detonate themselves. Remember the woman who wanted to detonate herself in the hospital where she had been treated for burns? She said she didn't tell her mother about her plans, because her mother would have objected and the mother said had she known, she would have shut her daughter in her room for a year.

This wasn't a suicide bomber I'm sure but a poor little child sent out and exploded remotely.
However it happened it's evil.

Marilyn:

Probably has nothing to do with the Iranians airing cartoon shows to kids that advocate suicide terrorism, but one such cartoon was aired on IRIB TV on Oct. 28:
