| Tamil suicide bomber was pregnant |
| 2006-04-28 |
| A TAMIL woman suicide bomber who blew herself up in a bid to kill Sri Lanka's top general was pregnant and used her condition to get inside army headquarters in Colombo for a maternity check and to help conceal the explosives, an investigator says. The bomber has been identified as a 21-year-old Tamil woman who is believed to have been a member of the rebels' Black Tigers suicide squad. She blew herself up in a bid to kill Sri Lanka's army commander Lieutenant General Sarath Fonseka inside the heavily fortified military headquarters in Colombo. The general who was injured was in a car when the blast happened that killed 11 people and injured 26. The attempt has lead to a number of retaliatory attacks by the government on Tamil rebels. |

| #5 Strange, all earlier reports of this suicide bomber had her disguised as pregnant to hide the bomb. Not one report indicated she was pregnant. I suspect this item was either altered intentionally or the reporter simply didn't read the earlier releases all the way through. |

| #4 The enemies of all that live, in deed and truth. How sick do you have to be to blow up a pregnant woman? Kill all the terrorists, and no concessions. Just like what (I wish!) we are doing to the Jihadis. |

| #3 I'm sure Planned Parenthood will blame the Bush regime's unrelenting war on women and Roe v. Wade as the cause for this poor woman having to go to such measures to abort a fetus that was surely the result of incest or rape, which is nearly always the case because sex is how the phallocracy maintains its misogynistic power structure that not only crushes the life out of women, but also the environment and minorities. |
