First known suicide car bomb attack by a woman takes place in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - (AP) A female suicide bomber detonated an
explosives-packed vehicle near a U.S. military patrol in northern Iraq on
Tuesday, police said. It was the first known suicide car bombing by a woman
since the country's bloody insurgency began two years ago.
The site of the attack in Mosul city was quickly closed off by U.S.
forces in the residential neighborhood of al-Hadbaa, and it was not
immediately known whether the blast caused any casualties in the patrol,
said police Capt. Ahmed Khalil.
In Baghdad, the U.S. military said it had no information about the
attack.
The remains of the suicide bomber were identified as those of a
woman, said Khalil and Dr. Bahaa al-din al-Bakri, who works at the local
hospital that received the remains in Mosul, 360 kilometers (225 miles)
northwest of Baghdad.
Male militants often have carried out numerous suicide car bomb
attacks against Iraqi security forces, U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians,
but the Mosul attack was the first one known to have been carried out by a
woman driver since the insurgency began.
The only other successful suicide attack by a woman in Iraq occurred
on Sept. 28, when a female with explosives hidden beneath her traditional
white robe set them off after she stood in line outside an Iraqi army
recruitment center in the western city of Tal Afar, killing at least six
people and wounding 30.
Before the insurgency began, Saddam Hussein's regime is known to
have used female suicide bombers at least once: Just before the April 2003
fall of Baghdad, two women detonated their car near the city of Haditha,
killing three American soldiers.
Women strapped with explosives have attempted other suicide bombings
on foot _ without using a car bomb _ but were captured before they could
carry out their attacks.
