If the soldiers had come to warn people to stay indoors because of a reported car bomb, what were they doing attracting kids out into the street with sweets?

Would it be too cynical to suggest they may have been hoping that the kids would have been a deterrent to them being targetted. They wouldn't be the first adults in a war zone to have used kids in such a manner if that was what happened".

From post 201572, a report:

"Two Army Humvees had parked in the street, and their crews blocked off a small area with razor wire and began giving gifts to children who immediately swarmed around them.

A speeding Suzuki sedan plowed into their midst and exploded, turning a festive scene into one of carnage, witnesses said".

Comment: It is clear that the soldiers took precautions and therefore thought they were safe. No need to hide behind children.


They misjudged the situation and made a mistake.

That can happen but it doesn't mean that kids were used for protection.
