Bomb maker arrested in Iraq over killing two schoolgirls

Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) ‐ An Iraqi fisherman was tossed in the clink
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
Sunday in Dhi Qar governorate as he was found implicated in killing two schoolgirls via his locally-made landmines, a security source was quoted as saying.

"A force from the Counter-Terrorism Service raided the fisherman’s house in al-Nasiriyah district in Dhi Qar and took him to a detention center as he will face charges of manufacturing landmines that killed two schoolgirls and injured another earlier in the day," the source told Alghad Press.

"The three students were on their way to school when the landmine went kaboom!."

The suspect is believed to be "manufacturing the landmines to use them in his business," and not for terrorist attacks, the source noted. "He was referred to the authorities concerned to be interrogated," added the source.
Curious that fish-killing mines somehow ended up in the road on the way to school.

#1  I'd love to see the Iraqis get their hands on that son of a bitch that blew up that car in front of that girls school while the kids were lining up for exam back in 2004.

I ran down there because the daughter of my body guard was going to that school. I spent a lot of time providing first aid and covering bodies, trying to explain to the parents that they really don't want to see what's under the blanket.

Much worse than combat because these were kids.

I'd love to find him myself.
