Suspected suicide bomb 'represents fundamental security breach

The suspected suicide attack inside a US Army mess hall in Iraq represents a breach of the most basic principles of military security and points to significant weaknesses in the screening of Iraqis who are allowed onto the base, US experts say.

“This is an incredible occurrence, that someone could have come in undetected with some kind of bomb,” said Mitch Mitchell, a retired Army officer who helps design security training for the military. “It blows my mind that force protection on the base is that poor.”
