Young Men and Boys from Schools of Religious Radicalism Undertake Most Suicide Bombing
<!-- Text -->
Security agencies in Iraq have warned of the spread of schools of religious radicalism in the province of Dyala, north of Baghdad, which is inhabited mostly by Sunnis and where Al-Qaeda is active, that turn their graduates into suicide bombers.
The schools offers a theoretical education about Islamism and religious extremism and practical training that teach the children to follow the examples of Al-Qaeda terrorist activities, including murder and the use of explosives.
In one case, a 14-year old boy blew himself up in the middle of iftar [the breaking of the fast in Ramadhan], killing 29 people and wounding 60. In another case, a 12-year boy blew himself up among group of soldiers, killing 12.
