Speechless

I came across the following news and did not know how to react. Speechless. Is this true?

Iraqi woman had 80 women raped to recruit suicide bombers

"Samira Ahmed Jassim, suspected of recruiting more than 80 female suicide bombers has confessed to organising their rapes so she could later convince them that martyrdom was the only way to escape the shame. Samira Jassim, 51, was arrested by Iraqi police and confessed to recruiting the women and orchestrating dozens of attacks." "shamed" rape victims are alleged to have been persuaded to "redeem themselves through suicide attacks"
