Iraqi Insurgents Using Kidnap Victims For Bombings
Jerusalem Post ^ | 9/22/06

Posted on 09/22/2006 6:15:04 AM PDT by areafiftyone

Insurgents are now using unwitting kidnap victims as suicide bombers - seizing them, booby-trapping their cars without their knowledge, then releasing them only to blow up the vehicles by remote control, the Defense Ministry said.

The Iraqi announcement - the latest development in the deadly war waged by the insurgency - came as widespread lawlessness swept the capital Thursday with kidnappings, deadly attacks on police, the discovery of more mutilated death squad victims and a brazen daylight bank heist by men dressed as Iraqi soldiers.

It was unclear from the Defense Ministry's statement whether the insurgents are using kidnap victims because they are having trouble finding recruits for suicide missions.

There can be only one explanation of using kidnap victims as suicide bombers....they are running out of virgins (after all infidels don't get them).

...and a brazen daylight bank heist by men dressed as Iraqi soldiers.

Widespread lawlessness? Something I have wondered for awhile is how much "insurgent" and "sectarian violence" is actually just "plain old crime" committed by criminals for financial gain or myriad other motivations (crimes of passion, etc.)

Just a new IED technology implemented by terrorists.

My my...

And, Senator McCain wants to insure we don't "abuse" or "embarrass" these miscreants once we "detain" them..

McCain doesn't want any questioning before breakfast, and no technique utilized that will break the "detainees" as McCain himself was broken..

It's becoming painfully obvious, McCain spent far too much time in captivity and suffered far too much.
The bastard has clearly lost his mind, or is still under mind control by the enemy..

Semper Fi

Does this mean they are running out of their own bombers ?
