Woman bomber kills herself

2007-12-05

In the first such attack of its kind, a female suicide bomber blew herself up in a high security zone here on Tuesday, but no loss of life or damage to property was reported, a senior police official said.

Peshawar police chief DIG Tanveerul Haq Sipra said the bomber blew herself up when she was stopped at a military checkpost. Cantt SP Ijaz Khan said the incident might not have been a suicide attack, as no suicide jacket parts had been recovered. A police official said the woman, apparently a local, appeared to be between 25 and 30 years old.

#8 Call me a bleeding heart, perhaps; but maybe this woman was forced into carrying the bomb and she blew herself up where nobody would get hurt? We've read items here before about people being pressured to be suicide bombers.

#7 If the usual suspect always haul out the [disingenuous]argument that young Muslim men carry out these attacks because of their poverty, lack of education, etc. [it's not just the religion - right], how come the even more 'oppressed' women of the culture aren't doing this even more than the men? They're even more down on the ladder in status/position/exploitation than the males. Unless, of course, it is the religion.

How did the young lady happen to explode, then?

Heh heh. Good to hear that the bomber doesn't count any more! Mop up the mess and carry on!
