Two Female Suicide Bombers Kill 27 in Iraq

http://www.forbes.com/work/feeds/ap/2005/12/06/ap2371791.html

Two women strapped with explosives blew themselves up at Baghdad's police academy on Tuesday, killing 27 people and wounding 32, the U.S. military said.

The women blew themselves up in a classroom filled with students, the statement from Task Force Baghdad said. No U.S. forces were killed or wounded in the attack, it added.

U.S. forces rushed to the scene to provide assistance, the statement said.

Iraqi police said one bomb exploded in a cafeteria, while the other detonated during roll call. Police Lt. Ali Mi'tab said the women were probably students at the academy, which is why they were not searched.

1. What brave Freedom Fighters

I can certainly see why we should strongly support a movement that sends women to blow up students.

6. Yes it is. Are the headlines leading the news, or

dictating the news? Just makes me wonder.
