Al Qaeda uses two Down's syndrome women in Baghdad attack
Al Qaeda fanatics plumbed to sickening new depths yesterday when they turned two women with Down's syndrome into human bombs to kill 99 people in Baghdad.
The unwitting pawns were apparently fooled into wearing explosive vests which were then detonated remotely by mobile phones as the women mingled with crowds.
Involving women in fighting violates religious taboos in Iraq, but [w]omen can avoid thorough searches at checkpoints because of Islamic sensitivities...
Yesterday's attacks are the first ever to have involved anyone with Down's Syndrome.

Although they claim a higher purpose, when your job is convincing people to kill themselves as long as they take other innocents with them, there can be no honor, and therefore this new development is sad, but not really surprising.
It now appears that the head of a psychiatric hospital may have supplied the Down's syndrome women to al-Qaeda.
Shame, shame...
