“Outrage over the computer game which glorifies suicide bombing”
by Mail Online Nov. 5 2008 - James Chapman   
November 7th, 2008

A computer game in which players assume the role of a suicide bomber and try to kill as many men, women and children as possible has provoked outrage.

A senior Labour MP said Kaboom: The Suicide Bombing Game, which is freely available to all age groups on the internet, ‘devalues human life’ and should be banned.

Players move a terrorist of Arab appearance along a busy street to get as close as possible to the most civilians.

Players of Kaboom adopt the role of a suicide bomber who must try to kill as many civilians as possible

They then click their mouse and the bomber opens his coat to reveal grenades strapped to his body before exploding in a shower of bloody limbs.

The more men, women and children are injured, the more points the player receives.

Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons home affairs select committee, said the game contained an ‘unnecessary’ level of violence and offended relatives of those killed by suicide bombers.

'Devalues life': The internet game

Editors Note...See Romans 1:32 "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them"
