Not so funny now considering San Bernardino and now Chad

Quote:A deadly attack took the lives of at least 27 people in Africa. A local market on the island of Koulfoua, in Chad was struck, according to the BBC and AP, injuring at least 90.

A Chad police spokesman said three female suicide bombers carried out Saturday's attack.

The Lake Chad region straddles the borders of Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria.

The area has been attacked repeatedly by the Boko Haram militant group, and the region is under a state of emergency.

Quote:Female terrorists are not new, but have been making headlines recently.

• Tashfeen Malik and her husband killed 14 people in San Bernardino on Wednesday.

• In a raid after the Paris attacks, a woman detonated explosives as police moved in, killing herself and a police dog named Diesel.

• Less than a month ago, Russia revealed that female suicide bombers had planned to smuggle explosives in hand cream in a Sochi Olympics plot.

• A 14-year-old girl blew herself up at a mosque in Cameroon, Nov. 9, killing four. A second female suicide bomber was stopped.

San Bernadino was a woman with a 6 month old child.

I'm obviously not 'afraid' of women and children, but the idea that they can't be terrorists has been completely lost.
