Everyday, the news bring us stories of terrorists and suicide bombers, who all hold one thing in common; they are male. Today BBC news has reported a story; "Female Bomber Kills 6 in Iraq." Gender-biased as it may be, I have never really thought about women in the role of suicide bomber. Reading the article made me chilly, and it is disturbing to say the least. The anonymous martyr is the eighth woman in Iraq to do it, this year. One reason for the increase, is the ability, for women to more easily hide things under their clothes. You may not be as taken aback by this article as I was... but what do you think??
