Iraqi cops shoot female splodydope
BAGHDAD - Iraqi police opened fire on a female suicide bomber as she approached a Baghdad recruitment centre on Tuesday, blowing up her explosives belt but preventing a far deadlier attack.

“A woman wearing a suicide belt tried to blow herself near a national police recruitment centre near Sadr Al Qanat,” interior ministry operations director Brigadier General Abdel Karim Khalaf told AFP. “Some elements of the mechanised brigade saw a suspicious woman and ordered her to stop, but she didn’t respond and approached the recruits, so they opened fire on her and she exploded,” he added.

Security and defence officials said three police were lightly wounded in the attack, but Khalaf could not confirm this.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, unfortunate young woman, allowed herself to be used by a group of nasty men too cowardly to strap on a boom vest themselves, and now she's dead.
