Iraqi girl gets seven years for bombing attempt
2009-08-07
A teenage Iraqi girl who claimed her husband's female relatives strapped explosives on her has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for attempting to blow herself up at a checkpoint in northeastern Iraq, a provincial judge said Thursday.

The sentence comes amid a rising number of female suicide bombers in Iraq, which has prompted US and Iraqi forces to step up efforts to train more female police to search women for explosives.

Rania Ibrahim was sentenced Sunday in a juvenile court for the attempted attack on Iraqi security forces near Baqouba in August 2008, said Diyala provincial Judge Zaid Khalaf.

#3  Jassim told The Associated Press about a plot in which young women were raped and then persuaded to carry out suicide attacks to reclaim their honor.

If I recall correctly, the Iraqis picked up the woman running that program.

#2  Sorry Gromky,
The MSM is too busy investigating the swastikas Pelosi saw at the town hall meetings.

Boy, talk about a Pulitzer Prize there for the taking. Too bad the MSM's blinders will preclude any investigation, and if by some miracle an article did appear, it would be soundly ignored.
