heard a loud sound inside. After a while we rushed to the scene of the blast. I
saw lots of people in the ground and blood all over the place.”
“The severed head of the female
suicide bomber was later found, and a crowd of boys took it to the front of the
Emir's palace and set it on fire," he said. An official at the town's
