The Associated Press had one of the world’s shortest story today (as published in New York Daily News) about an Iraq election day horror.
BAGHDAD – Insurgents used a mentally handicapped child as one of the suicide bombers who launched attacks on Iraq’s Election Day, the country’s interior minister said yesterday.
“A handicapped child was used to carry out a suicide attack on a polling site,” Falah al-Naqib said. “This is an indication of what horrific actions they are carrying out.”
He gave no other details, but police at the scene of a Baghdad blast Sunday said the bomber appeared to have Down syndrome.
Al-Naqib told reporters in Baghdad that 38 attacks were carried out on polling stations on Election Day.
In all, insurgent attacks and suicide bombers left at least 44 people dead.
