Iraq: First Female Suicide Bomber
Yesterday, a woman, dressed as a man, approached a building near a US military facility in the northern city of Tall Afar, and then, when denied entry, she blew herself up. At least five civilians were killed, and more than 30 were injured, according to The Washington Post. The building she tried to enter is a "civil military operations center", used as an arena for US military and civilians to interact. This is the first Iraqi case of a female suicide bomber since the insurgency began in 2003, and has ramifications for all in Iraq.
Al Zarqawi's "al Qaeda in Iraq" claimed on a website that the woman was a "sister" connected with the Malik Suicidal Brigade. During the 2003 invasion, Saddam Hussein's forces made use of two female suicide bombers in an incident in a car, which they used to kill 3 US soldiers. After yesterday's attack, Gen Ahmed Mohammed Khalaf, the regional police chief noted that women are not usually searched at the Tall Afar checkpoints, for religious and social tradition. He stated that now, both women and children would be searched, as men are.
The Washington Post also stated that in a separate incident, a bomb was detonated outside the home of Moqtada the radical Shiite cleric. Six children were killed in the blast, and eight others, including adults, were injured. Near the Kuwaiti border, in Safwan, 2 US military were killed and one injured by a roadside bomb, and north of Baghdad, another roadside bomb killed another US soldier. A Marine was shot dead near the city of Fallujah in the west.
