A booby-trapped dog targeting a police patrol exploded in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk Sunday, injuring one police office, police said.
Sources in the oil-rich city said the dog was apparently drugged and blew up as a police patrol was passing on a main road in eastern Kirkuk.
Insurgents have previously used animals pulling carts in targeted attacks against the U.S.-led forces in the country as well as human suicide bombings.
The sources said another police patrol was targeted in the same area just two minutes after the dog exploded, injuring two officers.
Three suicide attacks, mortar fire and shooting incidents Sunday killed at least 41 Iraqis and injured scores more, mostly in the northern city of Mosul.
Most of the casualties were Iraqi police officers.
and PETA says what?
Does PETA have a chapter there? I did not know that.
Don't ask PETA to help, they would be angry that the terrorist killed the dog before they could.
Yesterday a pick up truck full of watermelons exploded. The bomb was in the bed under the watermelons. The suicide bomber and a few Iraqi police got killed.

Exploding

Animals......
PETA has now joined the insurgency? This is bad news. They have a history of trying to recruit young impressionable children.
Not sure if she's boobty-trapped, BUT....
Horrible.
And what is the terrorists' "vision" for Iraq?
They don't have much of one.
That's why they have little popular support.
If 25 million Iraqis, or a substantial portion of them, didn't want us there, there would be little or nothing 140,000 troops could do to fight it.
Suicide dogs. Seems like the jihadists are getting desperate.
LOL - SHE'S A MAN BABY YEA!!
Ohhhh my eyeeeees!
Peta would say "Although we are saddened that they used the dog as an explosive device, we are grateful they were humane and drugged the poor dog."
The human bombs, they just get brain washed.
This will go on forever. They are not going to stop even if we catch Bin Laden or Al Zarqawi.
Running out of freaks who will blow themselves up, are they?
Maybe we should think about secreting a remote-controlled explosive device on a captured terrorist, perhaps in his clothing, then turning him loose to go back to where his terrorist buddies are hanging out. I would pay a little for footage of that.
I don't know. Saudi Arabia is stable, what's their trick?
"Maybe we should think about secreting a remote-controlled explosive device on a captured terrorist, perhaps in his clothing, then turning him loose to go back to where his terrorist buddies are hanging out."
Not a bad idea. If it's good enough for wasps and bees, it should work on those insects as well.
Now there's a reason to hit the Report Abuse button!
"These Americans dishonor our people! Our women blow themselves up for Allah, and the Americans make jokes about how they look. 'She's a dog.' they say! Pah! These Americans are so uncivilized!"
The scoundrels probably promised him he'd receive 72 bi__es in heaven.
1. Women
2. Children, and now add,
3. Dogs
Hmmm...that's just about all of my list of things that I value most in this world.
Must be starting to run low on martyrs...
Down to the last days of dogs and watermelons (does this sound like a Steinbeck novel?).
Oh, my God! You are supposed to give three warnings before you post that mug!
I'm waiting for the Kitten bombs next! Jeeze can these terrorists get any more disgusting!
Hm. Based on my dog, you can't necessarily blame direct action by terrorists. The damn dog might have just eaten the explosives and triggering mechanism on it's own.
Getting their people riled up to hate someone else more than them. Their "trick" is one of the main causes of our difficulties.
If dog was female, will NOW, etc. speak out?
Must be a shortage of Islamo suicide bombers so they pick something that best reflects their own IQs.
LOL That sounds like alot of dogs - they will eat anything that isn't nailed down sometimes or chew on it.
Is that a mask?
Ewwww! Another reason not to have breakfast at my keyboard!
That's very sad. I love dogs.
running out of human volunteers ....
Also something that can have better manners when so trained and is cuter.
Me too.
"Must be starting to run low on martyrs..."
I had the same thought, recruitment problems. Hmmmm... I can't imagine why.
Don't forget handicapped people, particularly those with Down's Syndrome.
There will always be murderers. We have them here in the USA, people who kill and do horrible things for no reason. The thing will be to cut it down as much as possible, to see to it that the Iraqi military and police are able to go after these guys, and eventually this will die down. But nobody is ever going to get rid of nutbags who kill. The thing is, they are now recruiting dogs because they're having a hard time recruiting human beings.
So the insurgents aren't getting desparate? This will make it harder to recruit, won't it? Uncle Osama needs you .... uh, to fill the shoes (well, paws) of the heroic martyr, Fido.
I guess they are paying in milk bones.
Wouldn't this be considered terribly insulting 'Allah'?
I mean, having his will carried out by an unclean dog because his little jihadists are too skeered to?

RUT RO
Kibble and a lot of bits.
LOL!
