Oh this is terrible. I remember reading a report from someone who said a WMD attack was expected soon in Iraq (I will look for it- ), which caused Baghdad to be locked down to an extraordinary degree. I took it with a grain of salt, but this story is VERY troubling. If someone would do this to their co-religionists, remember they would not hesitate to do it to us infidels. May the suffering get the help they need.
huh? but there are no WMDs in Iraq!!! /sarc
Pgh, you are the first one to mention this. You are a good person. Most of the rest of us (myself included) were trying to figure out what could have caused such injuries. You have a great outlook.
No sh!t, Sherlock. Welcome to the party...
Al Qaeda (in Iraq) threatened WMD attack:
"The field of jihad (holy war) can satisfy your scientific ambitions, and the large American bases (in Iraq) are good places to test your unconventional weapons, whether biological or dirty, as they call them," he said. http://www.aina.org/news/20060928140622.htm
Now, the threat was against US bases, but IIRC, before 9/11, we were thinking an attack would occur against US interests overseas. When they threaten, they don't always give us the exact details. Don't know what to make of this, but it may be significant.
