The headline says Iraq, but the article is about Afghanistan. I think the Herald Sun made a mistake in the headline.

BRITAIN'S Prime Minister Gordon Brown yesterday expressed his disgust that the Taliban had used a boy, 13, in a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan that killed three British troops.

The three were among four British troops who died in weekend attacks.

It was also revealed yesterday that three Canadian soldiers were killed and one injured after their vehicle was hit by an explosive device in southern Afghanistan.

An angry Mr Brown, speaking at Camp Bastion, the British military base in southern Helmand province, spoke out against the most recent attacks against British forces in the area.

"It is a terrible commentary on the Taliban that they should use a 13-year-old child as a suicide bomber," he said.

"There is disgust and horror at these tactics being used by the Taliban."

The teenager had used a wheelbarrow to hide the bomb and wheel it towards his targets.

Mr Brown paid a surprise visit to Afghanistan, where he spoke to troops and held talks with President Hamid Karzai.
