A suicide bomber in action- DISTURBING CONTENT WARNING

Published by Karl at 2:20 am under terrorism, violence

This is no bull, this is a woman calmly blowing herself up to kill someone.  Rumoured to be a Tamil Tiger, she did this in Sri Lanka.

The only appreciable difference, is that an Al Qeada bomber would have leveled the whole building.

 — In chilling security camera footage, a female suicide bomber on a mission to kill a Sri Lankan Cabinet minister is seen patiently answering questions in a bustling government office before calmly standing up and detonating the bomb hidden in her bra.

The video, released by police Friday, gave a rare look at a suicide bomber’s last moments and the immediate aftermath of a devastating attack.

In the footage, the bomber, wearing a yellow sari and a white shawl, calmly walked into a small waiting room at the Colombo offices of Social Services Minister Douglas Devananda on Wednesday, the day he sets aside to hear complaints from the public.

The woman, identified by police as 24-year-old Sujatha Vagawanam, sat down in front of a desk and answered questions from Devananda’s 72-year-old aide Steven Peiris. As the two spoke, Peiris was repeatedly interrupted by other officials sitting nearby or walking past.

After nearly a minute and a half, he began gesturing for her to sit down in a nearby cluster of white plastic chairs, apparently to await a security check. She then stood up facing Peiris, reached her right hand to her right shoulder to grab something and exploded.

And just like that, it is over.  This is horrible, and I only post it because the world needs to see how calm and cool these people are so they can understand the difficulty our troops face daily in trying to stop them.

You watch this, and wonder:  Would you have suspected her? 

Not all fanatics are howling fanatics.
