Two mentally disabled women were strapped with explosives Friday and sent into busy Baghdad markets, where they were blown up by remote control, a top Iraqi government official said.The bombs killed at least 98 people and wounded more than 200 at two popular pet markets on the holiest day of the week for Muslims, authorities said.

In both bombings, the attackers were mentally disabled women whose explosive belts were remotely detonated, Gen. Qasim Atta, spokesman for Baghdad’s security plan, told state television.

Disabled, as in having Down syndrome. Used a remote bomb delivery systems. Is that not evil?

As Confederate Yankee points out, this news was met with satisfaction with the lose-at-all-costs Left.

UPDATE: Today’s LA Times covers the story, but buries the fact about the women being retarded until after the jump.
