A South-African website has this story here:

Iraq seizes booby-trapped toys
24/11/2005 17:13 - (SA)

Baghdad - The Iraqi army said on Thursday it had seized a number of booby-trapped children's dolls, accusing insurgents of using the explosive-filled toys to target children.

The dolls were found in a car, each one containing a grenade or other explosive, said an army statement.

The government said that two men driving the car had been arrested in the western Baghdad district of Abu Ghraib.

"This is the same type of doll as that handed out on several occasions by US soldiers to children," said government spokesperson Leith Kubba.

It was not immediately clear when the find was made or the suspects arrested.

This story is also reported by ABC, and The Turkish press, among others.

As I have stated here, if this trend continues, Zarqawi and Co. will have soon overstayed their welcome. Soldiers whom I have spoken with who have been recently "in theatre" state that Iraqi civilians are becoming more and more bold in outing terrorist strongholds. Our efforts are working.

Now if our "friends" on the left would quit sabatoging those efforts at every turn, perhaps we could make even more headway.

It's a sorry state of affairs when circumstances necessitate fighting one war on two fronts.
