DIEN BIEN PHU, VIET NAM: A Vietnamese Dien Bien Phu veteran climbs up a former French tank to pose for a souvenir picture 15 March 2004 on the former Eliane hill where the toughest fightings took place between Vietnamese and French troops during the Dien Bien Phu battle. Vietnam began 13 March 2004 celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the battle at Dien Bien Phu between mostly French troop and Vietnamese troops. Billed by military scholars as one of the greatest battles of the 20th century, the siege of Dien Bien Phu forced France to abandon all hopes of recreating a colonial empire in Indochina. Some 3,000 French troops and as many as 10,000 Vietnamese died in the battle, according to historians. AFP PHOTO/HOANG DINH Nam (Photo credit should read HOANG DINH NAM/AFP/***** Images)

Jpost tells, the boy turned himself in and was freed after questioning.
He was promised money for carrying the bomb through the check point, and give it to a waiting woman. When the terrorist saw that he turnd himself in, they tried to call the cellphone attached to the bom, but it failt to detonate. Hopefully this boy will be safe now he's back in his place.

If that story was true, he wouldn't have been released.

Haaretz says that the boy earns money transporting bags through the check-point on his cart. People, usually old people and women, would pile there bags on his cart. Apparently this time one contained the explosive, without his knowledge. There is no mention of any cell phone either.

This is from AP

A cellphone meant to set off the bomb rang while Abdullah was first detained by soldiers, the army said, meaning the militants were ready to sacrifice the boys to kill soldiers. The trigger failed.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI: French soldiers (L) and US Marines (R) take part in an official ceremony for the installation of the multinational force in Haiti, 15 March 2004, in Port-Au-Prince.

it would be nice to see something like that in Iraq with US and French soldiers :hug:
If you ask French soldiers as I did a few weeks ago, the'll love to be deployed in Iraq. No mattter political reasons but because they use to work with foreign troops like they recently did in Congo (together with the British Army) and Iraq is where the action takes place !
And Swedish army :)

Because it's a locally recruited regiment (33°RIMa) and the French West Indies black people tend to stick together.
