Iraqi insurgents use eight-year-old girl as suicide bomber - Women can avoid thorough searches at checkpoints because of Islamic sensitivities, and four have carried out suicide bombings since November. In February, Iraqi insurgents used two women with Downs Syndrome as human bombs in a blast that killed 99 people in Baghdad. The women were apparently fooled into wearing explosive vests which were then detonated remotely by mobile phones as they mingled with crowds.
