| Aswat al-Iraq: Policemen in Diala are searching for a female suicide bomber on the loose in the district of Baladruz, southwest of Baaquba, a security source revealed on Thursday. "Confessions given by a female suicide bomber called Kareema Ismail Hussein held that a second female bomber is on the loose in Baladruz, (45 km) southwest of Baaquba, who is planning to attack the Husseini processions in the district," the source, who asked not to have his name mentioned, told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. "Bomber Hussein gave the confessions after she had been arrested on Tuesday while wearing an explosive belt and was on her way to target a Shiite mosque in the district," the source added. Diala is one of the areas that mostly witnessed blasts by female suicide bomber -- 22 attacks, particularly in Baaquba. Baladruz had been the scene of a deadly suicide attack by a female bomber wearing an explosive belt inside a Shiite mosque in 2007, killing and wounding 80 people. |
