Taliban insurgents used an eight-year-old girl carrying a bag of explosives to attack a police checkpost in central Afghanistan, the Afghan government said on Sunday, making her one of the youngest child bombers of the decade-old conflict.

The incident took place in Char Chino district of central Uruzgan province, the interior ministry said. "The insurgents handed over a bag with a homemade bomb to an eight-year-old girl and asked her to take it to police forces," it added.

"As the girl was getting close to the police, it exploded and killed the girl."

Fucking. Sick.

Someone needs to explain to me again why we still have US troops in places where crap like this is acceptable. Tribal nations like Iraq and Afghanistan cannot be dragged into the 21st century by force. We need to get our troops out, and we need to get them out now.

Yup and they hung an 8 year old boy the other day too, the Taliban are really uping the anti ever since we announced the troop draw down, pretty soon incidents like this will be more widespread inside Afghanistan once we start withdrawing more and more.

Who knows, I don't think we'll be able to afford a Military adventure like this in 10 years.
