BAGHDAD - It goes against religious taboos in Iraq to involve women in fighting, but three recent suicide bombings carried out by women could indicate insurgents are growing increasingly desperate.

The female suicide attacks come as U.S.-led coalition forces are increasingly catching militants suspected of training women to become human bombs or finding evidence of efforts by al-Qaida in Iraq to recruit women, according to military records.

With coalition forces pushing extremists out of former strongholds and shrinking their pool of potential recruits, the militants are being forced to come up with other methods to penetrate stiffened security measures, said Diaa Rashwan, who follows Islamic militancy for Egypt's Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies.

Equal opportunities is important in a major organisation.

Actually they aren’t called suicide bombers anymore. You are now supposed to use the term TEL; Tactical Explosive Lemming.

What annoyed me the other day was when The President of Pakistan said that opposition woman had been martyred. We used to just say they have been killed. I don’t know why he used that term it gives validity to suicide bombers that say similar things.
