A NINE-YEAR-OLD schoolgirl has told of her ordeal after being kidnapped, strapped with explosives and sent to blow up herself and police at a security checkpoint in Pakistan's north-west, in an apparent attempt at a forced suicide attack.

Sohana Jawed said she had escaped from her captors as they fitted her with a second suicide vest after the first did not fit.

She was picked up by police less than 50 metres from the checkpoint that she had been told she would have to attack.

1. But we have no reason whatsoever to make children, infants, the elderly or

the disabled pass through inspection at airports......

6. Funny thing, though, the bombers are NEVER with their parents

Hence, there is no need to humiliate a child at an airport who is with her parents.

8. I can't see anybody from the Taliban or Alquaida escorting a child aboard a plane.

I can see any number of Americans tied up with Dooms Day cults perfectly willing to do so.


Where do you think the phrase "drink the Kool-Aid" came from?

9. True, but they wouldn't need to bomb strap the child when the wife's boobs are available

Or of course, they could both have a few dozen condoms of nitro shoved inside several orifices, so again, the kid is hardly such a risk that they need to feel her up.

It's improbable so I wouldn't base any protocols on it, and I can't see any point above shock value, but part of the schtick of suicide bombing is the shock value so...

4. True that.

5. So sick of extremists...

7. There is no doubt Islamists have used children for their crimes however

I wonder whether this particular event is staged. Something seems fishy about this.

10. Skepticism is warranted, true.

Have a biscuit?

[snagglepuss]

12. I don't understand your question.

[bemildred]

14. The girl was purportedly fed drugged biscuits. nt

[snagglepuss]

15. LOL I missed that. By the grace of gawd I didn't accept your offer as I rarely

turn down a biscuit. :scared:

[bemildred]

16. I would not think that drugged kidnapped 9-year-old girls would make the best suicide bombers.

But I have to give this one a lot of credit for wits, courage, and luck.

[snagglepuss]

17. So do you think the story is credible? Given the stupidity of the underware

bomber and the shoe bomber, these a**holes aren't brilliant so drugging a potential suicide bomber is on par. It will be interesting to see if they apprehend anyone but if they don't arrest anyone, I think it was staged.

[bemildred]

18. It is not impossible that it is - in substance - true.

But I would need pretty good odds to bet in favor of that.

19. "Islamists" ? I prefer to call them what they really are which is

assholes, assholes have been doing different type of stuff since the beginning of history for one reason or another and assholes will continue to do so until the last star goes out and the universe ends.
