Pictured: The dramatic moment a 15-year-old Iraqi suicide bomber gave herself up
I'll let you click the link. A semi-revealing image or two of the teenager as they prepare to get the thing off her, but it's done out of necessity and part of the story and so it should be told to lend context.

Her story is self-conflicting, but it might be explained by her being drugged by the terrorists as part of the process. She looks pretty whacked/stressed/emotional/confused. Just like the terrorists like it.

There is a great shot of the suicide vest itself on display. Doesn't look like much, but it's been plenty effective. Does anyone know why there are so many granny knots in the wiring? And what's the story with the multi-colored explosive bricks?
