Female, kurdish suicide-bomber kills dozens of ISIS-fighters

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/10/kurdish-suicide-bomber-attacks-isil-syria-201410518318542637.html
(the number "dozens" is taken from a different article)

A little detail from the battle for Kobane last Sunday: A suicide-bomber that targeted ISIS.
On the one hand that's a good thing, because it's psychological warfare on ISIS.
On the other hand that's a bad thing, because it seems like suicide-bombers are becoming the new normal.

Make it sound as if this woman had no other options get caught & be raped & beheaded like other Kurdish women fighters (who's headless pics are on the net) or pull the pin on a grenade & take a few with her.

Not your typical "suicide bomber".

Civilians are forced to go to low, dehumanizing measures just to get any leeway is a failure for humanity.
