Or spread the rumor that all explosive residue contain traces of pig fat.

BRITISH police are considering the possibility that the four key suspects in last week's London attacks may have been tricked into setting off their bombs, a newspaper has reported.
"We do not have hard evidence that the men were suicide bombers," a Scotland Yard spokesman told The Sunday Telegraph. "It is possible that they did not intend to die." According to the paper, one police hypothesis is that the bombers were tricked by a "master" who told them they would have time to escape - when in fact the devices were set to go off immediately.
"The bombers' masters might have thought that they couldn't risk the four men being caught and spilling everything to British interrogators," an unnamed security official told the Telegraph.
Lending weight to the theory is the fact that all four men had paid up their parking tickets before boarding a train at Luton for King's Cross, and that they all bought return tickets to the capital.
Moreover, the paper said, the men were carrying their explosives inside rucksacks, as opposed to strapped to their bodies as is common practice among suicide bombers.
None were reported to have cried "Allah Akbar" (God is Greatest) before setting off their charge - something which most Middle Eastern suicide bombers do.
Of course, of course.
And, by George W. Bush.
It's all his, and Israel's fault.
"We do not have hard evidence that the men were suicide bombers,"
I need an asprin.
Hard to believe...
Did you actually read the article? It is a fascinating theory.
They may have been "duped" into killing THEMSELVES, but they had every intention of killing the people who mattered. I urge EVERY Muslim to strap explosives to him- or herself and go to some isolated spot and detonate them. Just don't hurt any humans in the process.
The duping began when they could read, write and comprehend the CULTure.
If true, this tactic is unlikely to work next time around. I'm glad the papers put this story out.
Man, if you can't trust your neighborhood bomb maker, who can you trust?
I would like to urge every muslim to strap on an ALLAH VEST and set it off in their favorite crowed mosque so everyone gets their virgins at the same time.
They all still had our death and destruction in their minds. It was only the final cost that hadn't yet been determined.
So, they intended to kill, but not to die. I guess the joke's on them, huh?
RIH!
DO AS THE LIBS DO...JUST BLAME BUSH!
I have no problem with the theory but the young and the stupid will write it off as Jew/Bush lies.
They're using the same tactic in Iraq because they have a shortage of "volunteers". These 4 dupes should have read a newspaper freeped every once in a while.
Didn't the backpack bombs have timers? Why go to that effort if the lads could simply push a button to set off the bombs? The cops have something here.
So some loza expecting 70-odd virgins in the next instant wasn't duped?
If that was true, imagine what the last bomber (on the bus) must have been thinking--was he trying to disarm his bomb? Was he terrified it would go off in his lap?
Or was he just trying to find a good secondary target (since he had been routed away from the subway) and so he got on a crowded bus instead?
(That last seems to suggest that he knew he was a bomber, and was looking for a good secondary target.)
To deceive the "lads".
Frankly, if that's the case, better we let them die if we can't stop them first.
A much more efficient solution. See? There's American ingenuity at work already!
New category - Islamo-fool.
I honestly don't think they were stupid enough to think they could escape the blasts set off underground in the Tube.
The press should print a story about a Virgin shortage. Maybe the bombings would slow down a bit.
I guess . .
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
. . doesn't apply for these guys.
Plus, this means they got screwed out of their share of the virgins.
Inneresting. Yeah, it could have been pucker-time for #4.
This is cool. This disinformation spread by the MSM will scare future suicide bombers away from "practice runs" and so forth, depriving the muslim masterminds of a source of recruits. Finally the MSM is using its lying ways to help the West.
Exactly...hope this line of thought takes root. Their Muslim brothers will be much harder on these wack jobs if it comes out that these four were dupes, and their murderous masters can't hold them us as models of martyrdom...just four dumb guys who took the bait. Wonder what they were promised for this mission?
Maybe they bought round trip tickets because that's what they always did. People are creatures of habit.
Personally I don't care if they were duped or not. They're dead now and answering to a Higher Court where claiming to be a victim of American Imperialism won't get them out of jail free.
Osama bin Laden had been laughing that most of the 9/11 bombers did not know they were on a suicide mission. Seems to have worked again.
Useful idiots? We have just dicovered the terrorist connection to liberals.

The bus guy wouldn't necessarily have known the timer was a phoney. He likely asumed his compatriots successfully set and left the scene, if all were trained that the packages had timers.
At times like this, I am reminded of The Onion's brilliant article following 9/11:
Hijackers Surprised To Find Themselves In Hell
by The Onion 9/26/01
"We Expected Eternal Paradise For This," Say Suicide Bombers
JAHANNEM, OUTER DARKNESS-The hijackers who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon expressed confusion and surprise Monday to find themselves in the lowest plane of Na'ar, Islam's Hell.
"I was promised I would spend eternity in Paradise, being fed honeyed cakes by 67 virgins in a tree-lined garden, if only I would fly the airplane into one of the Twin Towers," said Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, between attempts to vomit up the wasps, hornets, and live coals infesting his stomach. "But instead, I am fed the boiling feces of traitors by malicious, laughing Ifrit. Is this to be my reward for destroying the enemies of my faith?"
The rest of Atta's words turned to raw-throated shrieks, as a tusked, asp-tongued demon burst his eyeballs and drank the fluid that ran down his face.
According to Hell sources, the 19 eternally damned terrorists have struggled to understand why they have been subjected to soul-withering, infernal torture ever since their Sept. 11 arrival.
"There was a tumultuous conflagration of burning steel and fuel at our gates, and from it stepped forth these hijackers, the blessed name of the Lord already turning to molten brass on their accursed lips," said Iblis The Thrice-Damned, the cacodemon charged with conscripting new arrivals into the ranks of the forgotten. "Indeed, I do not know what they were expecting, but they certainly didn't seem prepared to be skewered from eye socket to bunghole and then placed on a spit so that their flesh could be roasted by the searing gale of flatus which issues forth from the haunches of Asmoday."
"Which is strange when you consider the evil with which they ended their lives and those of so many others," added Iblis, absentmindedly twisting the limbs of hijacker Abdul Aziz Alomari into unspeakably obscene shapes.
"I was told that these Americans were enemies of the one true religion, and that Heaven would be my reward for my noble sacrifice," said Alomari, moments before his jaw was sheared away by faceless homunculi. "But now I am forced to suckle from the 16 poisoned leathern teats of Gophahmet, Whore of Betrayal, until I burst from an unwholesome engorgement of curdled bile. This must be some sort of terrible mistake."
Exacerbating the terrorists' tortures, which include being hollowed out and used as prophylactics by thorn-cocked Gulbuth The Rampant, is the fact that they will be forced to endure such suffering in sight of the Paradise they were expecting.
"It might actually be the most painful thing we can do, to show these murderers the untold pleasures that would have awaited them in Paradise, if only they had lived pious lives," said Praxitas, Duke of Those Willingly Led Astray. "I mean, it's tough enough being forced through a wire screen by the callused palms of Halcorym and then having your entrails wound onto a stick and fed to the toothless, foul-breathed swine of Gehenna. But to endure that while watching the righteous drink from a river of wine? That can't be fun."
Underworld officials said they have not yet decided on a permanent punishment for the terrorists.
"Eventually, we'll settle on an eternal and unending task for them," said Lord Androalphus, High Praetor of Excruciations. "But for now, everyone down here wants a crack at them. The legions of fang-wombed hags will take their pleasure on their shattered carcasses for most of this afternoon. Tomorrow, their flesh will be melted from their bones like wax in the burning embrace of the Mother of Cowards. The day after that, they'll be sodomized by the Fallen and their bowels shredded by a demonic ejaculate of burning sand. Then, on Sunday, Satan gets them all day. I can't even imagine what he's got cooked up for them."
From now on, whenever I go into McDonalds for a breakfast sandwich, I am going to point to the picture of the Sausage McMuffin with Egg and say, "Let me have one of those Allah Akbars, please."
The masterminds of these stunts are heartless, and are well known to kill "their own".
That said, and if true, then there is a small measure of justice in the killers themselves perishing, unintentionally, and at their own hands.
They were "victiiiiiims"......(using a heavy sarcastic Michael Savage tone)
Hmmm... The timer is connected to the detonator. Huh? Where's the delay box? Isn't there supposed to be a delay box? Wait, here's the delay box, but it's wires go... [fumble, fumble] right back to itself. No wait, that can't be right... I think he wired it wrong, the delay box was supposed to be in this circuit here. I think there's some sort of mistaBOOM!!!!
I really couldn't care less if they were "duped" into blowing themselves up.
The bus bomber. He may have been looking for the connection between the trigger and the timer, to satisfy himself that he would have time to get away. He may have been suspicious of the location of the tube blasts, i.e., they didn't fit the training plan, but suggested premature detonation.
Muslim men have been known to enjoy a good buggering...
So they didn't wear vests. Big deal. Four guys wearing
backpacks are a lot less suspicious. Plus, the size of the
bombs would have made vests impractical.
Paying their tickets means nothing. They could have done that
simply because they did not wish their families
to be saddled with the debt. Round-trip tickets? Terrorists
have proven that they are very careful planners and do little
to raise suspicion. Buying round-trip tickets
would have raised less eyebrows than buying one-way. Not yelling
the terrorists catch-phrase? Maybe they just didn't want the chance
of someone recognizing their intent and stopping them before they went boom. Who knows?
Why are we supposed to care? Just because they wanted to kill us and not themselves? Boo hoo. Poor little wookies.
This makes sense. I was having a hard time believing Al Queda could find four British citizens, and second generation Brits at that, willing to commit suicide for Islamic Jihad. It’s beginning to look like the terrorists were told the plan was the same as in Madrid: they were told to arm the timers and then leave the bombs on the trains when they got off, but apparently all four bombs detonated the instant the timers were armed. This was either planned to make it appear that Al Qeeda could enlist suicide bombers anywhere in the world, or it was the result of some very sloppy bomb construction.
This country isn't conducive to THEIR religion and I find THEIR religion hazardous to my health.
BTW heavy sarcasm seems to have gone over your head...
you listen to savage? snicker, giggle
Wait a second...didn't we read an article yesterday that stated one of these monsters went by his Uncle's house to say goodbye???
