Down syndrome youth used as suicide bomber

The Press Association reports -
"Amar was 19, but he had the mind of a four-year-old. This handicap didn't stop the insurgency's hard men as they strapped explosives to his chest and guided him to a voting centre in suburban Al-Askan.


""I have heard of them using dead people and donkeys and dogs to hide their bombs, but how could they do this to a boy like Amar?"

"Apparently, Amar triggered the bomb before he got to the intended target. It exploded while he was crossing open ground.
