FEMALE SUICIDE BOMBER KILLS 3 IN IRAQ

There have been 19 female suicide bombers in Iraq since the war began, and on Monday morning there was another female suicide bomber who blew herself up and killed three people near Baghdad.

Of course, we can expect the Bush Administration and their mouthpiece FOX NEWS to ignore this latest suicide attack.

A female suicide bomber blew herself up Monday near a tribal sheik's house northeast of Baghdad, killing the sheik and two other people, a provincial police official said.

The woman, wearing an explosives belt, entered the house of Sheik Thaeir Ghadhban al-Karkhi in the predominantly Sunni town of Kanaan, about 12 miles east of Baqouba in Iraq's restive Diyala province, a police official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to release the information.

The official said the sheik was killed, along with a child and a security guard. Two other people were wounded.

Female suicide bombers have been involved in at least 19 attacks or attempted attacks since the war began, including the grisly bombings of two pet markets that killed nearly 100 people on Feb. 1.

A female suicide bomber last struck in a Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad on Feb. 17, detonating after soldiers fired three bullets at her. Causalities were disputed in that attack, with Iraqi officials saying four people were killed, while the U.S. military said only the bomber died.
