Teenage Girl Strapped With Explosives, Remotely Detonated
These fukn puke piglets…the EPITOME of cowardice…
A teenage Iraqi girl strapped with explosives has blown up and killed an Iraqi army captain.
The bomb was detonated by remote control, injuring four soldiers in addition to the one who died, an Iraqi Army spokesman said.
Local authorities imposed a curfew in the area and American troops launched a search for those responsible.
US soldiers originally said an eight-year-old girl was used in the attack, which took place near Youssifiyah, south of the capital, Baghdad.
But the US army now believes the girl was around 16-years-old.
The horrific bombing came as Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki flew to Mosul to take charge of a major offensive against al Qaeda.
The US military says the northern city is the terror group’s last major urban stronghold in Iraq.
Military officials hope the offensive will deliver a knockout blow.
