Estaban celebrando la victoria de Irak en su partido de fútbol contra China. Una ceremonia claramente machista, en la que las «miembras» apenas tienen sitio. No tomaban cervezas tirolesas ni se encontraban alejados de las zonas de hierba alta por temor a las garrapatas. Al menos, no a las garrapatas centroeuropeas.
La bomba que llevaba la mujer dejó docenas de heridos y truncó la fiesta. Una heroina más en la causa justa de Alá:
THE joy of football fans celebrating Iraq’s win in a World Cup qualifier turned to horror when they were targeted by a female suicide bomber who maimed at least 34 people near a cafe north of Baghdad.
The young woman, covered in a traditional black Islamic robe, was dropped off by a car shortly before yesterday’s attack as dozens of cheering young men poured on to the streets after watching Iraq beat China 2-1 on television in the cafe in the town of Qara Tappah.
