With Operation Steel Curtain underway, terrorist insurgents trapped by the operation are turning to desperate measures to avoid capture or death. Like dressing up as female and hiding among women and children.

From a CENTCOM press release:

Iraqi Army Soldiers shot and killed three terrorists dressed in womenÂ’s clothing near the entrance to the safety zone established for displaced persons. The trio brandished weapons as they neared the checkpoint the Iraqi Soldiers were manning, but were unable to use them before being killed by the Soldiers. Iraqi Soldiers identified the terrorists as foreign fighters. The three terrorists were trying to hide among the women and children and gain access to the area for residents temporarily displaced.

Armed terrorists used a similar tactic at a police checkpoint Nov. 5 in the town of Buhriz, 35 miles north of Baghdad. While the terrorists posed as women, they killed six police officers and wounded many civilians.
