SHIT MAGNET

There could be something to Iraq as terrorist flypaper after all:
A Belgian-born convert to Islam has become the first European woman suicide bomber, killing herself recently in Iraq, French intelligence officials have claimed.

Unconfirmed reports on RTL France radio, said that the woman's Belgian nationality had been established by her home country's security service, the Sûreté de l'État.
So, what does a female martyr get in lieu of 72 virgins? Maybe the ghost of Catherine the Great's horse.
Update: The Brussels Journal has more:
Last night, the Belgian police arrested 14 people. Nine of them are Belgians, mostly of foreign origin, three are Moroccans and two are Tunisians. They are said to belong to the same network as the woman suicide bomber. Today a 27-year old man was arrested in Paris. He is suspected of belonging to a group that takes Jihadists from Belgium to Iraq.
The article also gives a brief overview of Belgium's anti-terrorism effort, making it well worth reading.
