Female Suicide Bombers

Kahira Saadi, a mother of four, was found guilty of a suicide attack where three people died (one pregnant woman was among the dead; she had just returned from an ultrasound appointment) and 80 were injured. Kahira was given three life sentences and another 80 years for the crime. When asked if she was sorry she said she was not sorry because she believed her people are at war.
