Iraqi children bombed in primary school
Montreal News.Net Wednesday 3rd December, 2008
At least 11 people were killed and 39 others injured after bombs hit a primary school and a checkpoint in the Iraqi cities of Nineveh and Mosul.
The bomb in Mosul ripped through a primary school, killing four children and injuring 12. The restive city of Mosul is located some 400 km north of Baghdad.
While security had relatively improved in many provinces across Iraq, Mosul remains a challenge for the US and Iraqi forces, with violent attacks occurring almost on a daily basis.
In Nineveh city, 48 km north of Baghdad, a car bomb hit a check point, killing at least seven people, including a policeman.
Twenty-seven people were injured in the explosion.
Also in Mosul, a 13-year-old Iraqi girl has escaped kidnappers who planned to use her as a suicide attacker, the US Army said.
The girl sought the protection of Iraqi troops at a roadblock near the city of Mosul.
According to the army, the girl said her abductors were "bad men" who had hidden her in the boot of a car and intended to blow her up as a martyr.

As a muslim I find this disgusting. Any true muslim knows this type of behavior is pure criminal and has nothing to do with Islam. I find it interesting that these criminals pick on children. I’m sick of gangsters calling themselvs muslims. We muslims know these crazy people dont follow the Quran and we dont consider them muslims!!
