Ignoring warnings by British troops to stop advancing, a burqa-wearing terrorist was shot dead in Afghanistan today. When troops removed the burqa they discovered the terrorist was a bearded man. He also had explosives strapped to his chest and a battery for detonation. TimesOnline:
The suicide bomb belt lies beside the body of the man shot in Lashkar Gar in Southern Helmand today.
Among the trail of clothes around him is the women's burqa with which he had disguised himself as he set out, explosives strapped to his chest, towards the police compound that was his target.
“He was shot in the forehead after he ignored warning shots and was killed on the spot,” said Hussain Andiwal, provincial police chief. “When we took off his burqa we found he was a man with a suicide vest tied around his body.”
“It was an 18 volt battery concealed under his clothes,” said a spokesman for ISAF, the International Security Assistance Force.
