Female suicide bomber foiled in Baghdad

Story here.

My sincere condolences to the individuals who were eventually killed by another bomber. Thankfully the female suicide bomber was stopped before any other people were hurt or killed. I'm glad to see the US Military and Iraq Army are taking these bombings very seriously. They have identified women are capable horrific acts of violence and should not be ignored. Lives are at stake. Excerpt:

'Alert guards gunned down a black-clad woman at a police recruiting station Tuesday, a would-be suicide bomber who then exploded before their eyes. But another bomber succeeded, killing at least 15 people at a gathering of tribal leaders opposed to al-Qaida in the volatile Anbar province.

Khalaf said a woman clad in a black abaya, the traditional Islamic cloak, approached a group of police recruits in east Baghdad's Canal district about 10 a.m. Tuesday.

"She didn't obey the guards' orders to stop and they shot her and she immediately blew up," Khalaf told the AP.

A police officer witness, who asked anonymity as he was not authorized to talk to the media, said three police recruits were lightly injured.'
