Small correction in my previous sentence:
 
 "But from the feeling of it looks like the router will try to get all fragments before forwarding them.
  So if I put an ingress ACL that drops all *NON INITIAL* "ingress" fragments and I enable virtual reassembly, then even if the initial fragment will make it through the the ACL it will be dropped after a while because the whole packet could not virtually reassembled"

Sound promising.
 I'll read it in detail this evening.

Sabrina,
Check out the virtual-reassembly feature... It's enabled under an interface as:
'ip virtual-reassembly'
