Iraqi's 'Kiss of Death' Claims Iraqi Army Officer In Mosul

A very brief article here at PerthNow about how an Iraqi Army officer was killed yesterday by a suicide bomber. Here's how it happened:

A SUICIDE bomber used a "kiss of death" to kill an Iraqi army officer who was guarding a roadblock in the northern city of Mosul yesterday, security officials said.
The bomber approached the officer with a big smile and gave him a hug as if he was a friend, then blew himself up, police officer Hamid al-Juburi said.
Another two soldiers and two civilians were wounded in the blast, army colonel Ahmad Saeed said.

This incident is further proof that the Iraqis are going to need to take a stronger stance against any civilians approaching them - we've seen how al Qaeda in Iraq had to resort to female suicide bombers to try and get close to U.S. troops since any male Iraqi bomber trying to get close was stopped "dead" in his tracks. Well, this Iraqi officer paid the ultimate price for being duped by the smile of Satan and hopefully, the Iraqis will issue the order to kill these well wishers on sight.

The US military considers Mosul, Iraq's third largest city, to be the last urban stronghold of al-Qaeda in Iraq, which has been behind hundreds of bombings since the 2003 US-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein.
