BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi insurgents used two children as a cover to get through a checkpoint in Baghdad and then blew up the car while the kids were still inside, a U.S. general said Tuesday. Two adults jumped from the car, leaving the children in the back. Moments later, the car exploded, witnesses said. The car went through a checkpoint Sunday and parked by a market across the street from a school, said Maj. Gen. Michael Barbero, deputy director for regional operations in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The two children and three bystanders died in the blast, and seven others were hurt, Pentagon officials said. The attack raises concerns that insurgents are trying a new tactic: using children to throw off troops, Barbero said. "Children in the back seat lower suspicion. We let it move through," he said. Barbero and Pentagon officials said this is the only attack of its kind they have seen. A U.N. report released in January highlighted insurgents' use of children as suicide bombers in Iraq.
Well... they won't be suffering at the hands of those motherfuckers any longer. R.I.P. Two more innocents lives in a war which has claimed a number beyond my comprehension.
Its bad enough when they recruit children into being terrorists...but this is even worse, probably kidnapping them, and then using them to get to a bomb detonation site... This kinda shit makes me disgusted with the entire human race, this planet would be such a better place without us all.
OMG!!!! HOW THE FUCK DO PPL DO THIS!!!!!!!they couldnt tell the kids to get out tha car or wat!!! that shit pisses me off!!!!!atleast they dnt have to live those kinda lives anymore..... RIP
Unbelievable, I just can't grasp this idiotic idea of "war". It's very sad when you stop and think of how many lives are lost.
