An eight-year-old girl strapped with explosives has blown up and killed an Iraqi army captain.
The bomb was detonated by remote control, injuring four soldiers in addition to the one who died, an Iraqi Army spokesman said.
Local authorities imposed a curfew in the area and American troops launched a search for those responsible.
US soldiers confirmed that a young girl was involved in the attack, which took place near Youssifiyah, south of the capital, Baghdad.
The horrific bombing came as Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki flew to Mosul to take charge of a major offensive against al Qaeda.
The US military says the northern city is the terror group's last major urban stronghold in Iraq.
Military officials hope the offensive will deliver a knockout blow.
Sunni Islamist al Qaeda gunmen have regrouped in Mosul and the surrounding province of Nineveh after being pushed out of Baghdad and western Anbar province by US and Iraqi forces.
Moqtada al Sadr's opposition movement struck a deal the ruling Shi'ite alliance to end running battles in Baghdad, although sporadic clashes keep breaking out. |

And these fcukers claim to be doing this in the name of god, what makes me angriest is that they will never recieve the right punishment for what theyve done,
im going to ask a contraversial question, are prisons like abu ghraib really to awful to house scum like these people? or should be we stay above their level?

We can't and shouldn't stoop. We can hardly argue against something on a moral cause if we are openly torturing people.
Unfortunately, the world is a twisted place. Human-kind in general, or at least, certain aspects of it, is nothing short of primitve.

As individuals we certainly can criticise, as it is our Governments that be that are committing these crimes against humanity and as much as they are supposed to be our representatives across the world, they certainly don't represent my range of beliefs or ideals.
