MEET Mireille:

Mireille was a 38-year old woman born into a white, Christian family in the Southern Belgian town of Charleroi; she married to a Moroccan, converted to a radical form of Islam, and went to Iraq where she blew herself up in a suicide attack targeted against a US military convoy; she killed only herself. Her passport was in her remains, and its finding prompted yesterday the arrest by Belgium and France security forces of 15 suspected Islamic militants believed to be linked to her. Mireille has the more than dubious honor of being the first white Western woman to carry out a suicide bombing, according to London's The Times.
