Anyway the story has changed and the girl beleived to be 16 yr old. That would suggest she knew what she was doing.

13 - 16 does it matter..this is a child who has commited a very serious offence and it should be held as a war crime.

I still don't see why we should spend money having an enquiry.

In the 1930s, many saw the Nazis as posturing clowns, not to be taken seriously ... a sort of lunatic fringe who would go away eventually. And go away they did, all it took was tens of millions of deaths.

I believe that Islamic extremism is the greatest threat to world peace to come along in quite some time ... if it is not dealt with in time ... well you get the picture. But this it too much of a wander.

Not a wander at all...........I am really surprised that the ones who put so much store on 'Did you get the form' . who's drinking in Ossy today
..etc,etc ,etc are not joining in the serious debate.

Maybe a local town forum may from time to time just like to have a lighter mood than serious debate

OMG This is just awful and another terrible insight into the dangers our lads and lasses are exposed to.
They always look after the young out there and now through some scumbags that just dont give a damn our lads will now maybe have to put a distance between them and the poor innocents of this awful war.
Sick!!!!

It was reported this morning that the girl was about 8 years old and that the bomb was detonated by remote control, so the girl may not have known that she had the bomb on her, these people are worse than animals
