Surge of Suicide Bombers

Newsweek via MSNBC.Com ^ | Aug. 13, 2007 issue | By Rod Nordland and Babak Dehghanpisheh

[F15Eagle]

In the video that serves as his last will and testament, the youthful, well-dressed Saudi, known only as "Fatima's Fiancé," is laughing and joking with the cameraman who will record his death a few minutes later. "Pray for Allah to make my mission easy," he says, and waves as he climbs into a maroon sedan, grinning broadly. "May Allah make it easy for you," the cameraman says obligingly, and laughs. The scene cuts away to an earlier interview, where the Saudi announces that when he gets to heaven he plans to marry a woman named Fatima, who was allegedly abused in Abu Ghraib Prison. Then the scene shifts to a highway in Iraq, with a line of 18-wheelers roaring along and a red circle superimposed over the bomber's approaching car. As the music swells and the screen fills with an orange-and-black fireball, the cameraman cries, "Thanks to Allah!"

What's perhaps even more surprising is that the majority of the bombers are not Iraqi. National-security adviser Mowaffaq al-Rubaie says that Saudis account for half the suicide bombings in Iraq. U.S. military estimates agree, and put Iraqis a distant second; in analyzing cases where the bomber's identity is definitively known, Hafez comes up with similar figures. Saudis play a little role in the insurgency as a whole but are key to the suicide-bombing campaign: the U.S. intelligence analyst estimates that "about half the Saudis crossing into Iraq come as suicide bombers."

... said Saudis in particular were "not doing all they can to help us" in Iraq. Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, said he was "astonished" by the criticism. ... Saudis admit they have a problem. ... estimates that 850 of its citizens have gone to fight in Iraq since 2003, of whom at least 50 percent have been killed.

[F15Eagle]

"the U.S. intelligence analyst estimates that "about half the Saudis crossing into Iraq come as suicide bombers."

"Saudi Arabia is the engine of jihad,"

Saudis and jihad in Iraq. Yes, it's Newsweek, but FWIW. I had to cut to specific paragraphs and trim to keep it at the 300-word maximum.

[L98Fiero]

“What’s perhaps even more surprising is that the majority of the bombers are not Iraqi.”

Surprising only to Newsweek and MSNBC.

[F15Eagle]

fyi

[nctexan]

Fatima awaits you.... Sucka!

[SolidWood]

Indeed.

[F15Eagle]

Yep. Wonder how many are from Pakistan, Yemen, Iran, etc.?

[F15Eagle]

eek

[Diogenesis]

Saudis in particular were "not doing all they can to help us" in Iraq.

Is there a country in the entire World which the Saudis
are not infiltrating and PAYING TERRORISTS?

So why don't we give them new weapons. NOT, you idiots.

[Pontiac]

Surprising only to Newsweek and MSNBC.

Oh, I bet the New York Slimes is surprised too!

[ishabibble]

Nailed it!

[shield]

Yep, he’s with Allah=Lucifer=Devil=very very miserable place for all eternity.

[dynoman]

The Saudis are probably very happy to get rid of those fanatics. This way they don’t have to deal with them at home.

[Lurker]

Riyadh needs to disappear in a nuclear fireball simultaneously with Mecca and that needs to happen tomorrow.

High Volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. or WOT [War on Terror]

----------------------------

It's a fine and ancient culture. If we just sell them some modern arms, say $20 billion, I'm sure this will all end. They'll love Americans.

[keepitreal]

“What’s perhaps even more surprising is that the majority of the bombers are not Iraqi.”

But I thought we had gotten ourselves in the middle of a “civil war”.

[onedoug]

[Dutch Tulip]

The media will not accept that Saudi Arabia is nothing in this war. ITS SUNNI SUNNI SUNNI!!! Waihabi SUNNI!! Why are we incapable of defining the enemy!!!

[F15Eagle]

Yes, immediately after that attack he quickly found out that allah was in fact Satan masquerading as the God of Abraham.

But it is now too late for him to come back and warn of the satanic deception. As he was mounting a bomb-laden vehicle for “marriage”, it should have been patently clear.

[denydenydeny]

an earlier interview, where the Saudi announces that when he gets to heaven he plans to marry a woman named Fatima, who was allegedly abused in Abu Ghraib Prison.

Oh no, people always tell me here, the Abu Ghraib publicity didn't energize the insurgency. Nope, no siree, nohow.

[F15Eagle]

except they eventually eat their masters ... that’s what the House of Saud is so afraid of ...

[F15Eagle]

Both actually. One group, or ideology that fits both sides is to attack and kill the infidel; i.e. any soldier / civilian in Iraq from other countries.

Then, some like to fuel the Sunni / Shia divide, including some internal Iraqis, and also heavily influenced from several points outside Iraq.

[dynoman]

You think that why they are letting them go to Iraq?

[saganite]

Riiight. This is all about Abu Ghraib. If Abu Ghraib hadn’t happened it would be all sweetness and light in Iraq. Sure.

[F15Eagle]

Yep, I saw that too.

[F15Eagle]

They ain’t running them out to just get rid of them. It also brings the U.S. to the bargaining table. The U.S. supports Israel and the Saudis don’t like it. You can take that to the bank.

Saudi Arabia has always supported terrorism, especially since 1967, including the telethon fund-raisers for the families of suicide bombers of Yasser Arafat’s Intifada.

House of Saud is afraid of them sure, but they don’t seem to care too much that their home-grown monsters are killing Americans and our allies in Iraq.

Why? Because they are home and promoter of islam and that trumps all in the final analysis.

[denydenydeny]

I surrender. Your brilliant argument has persuaded me completely.

[F15Eagle]

And after we saved their hides from Saddam in 1991

[BenLurkin]

Amazing that anyone would be “surprised” by this fact.

No wonder the MSM’s view of the Iraq campaign is so screwy.

[elcid1970]

BLOODY SAVAGES!!

):^(

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

["...where the Saudi announces that when he gets to heaven he plans to marry a woman named Fatima, who was allegedly abused in Abu Ghraib Prison."]

Here we have positive proof that the Abu Ghraib Prison "abuse" controversy, ginned up by the DEMOCRATS for their political advantage in he 2004 presidential election, has served to fuel terrorist attacks and deaths of Iraqi civilians and coalition forces. One can only hope that history will hold the DEMOCRATS in full contempt for their crimes.

[saganite]

About as good as yours I’d say. Opinion only without any supporting facts. Oh wait, you have the words of a terrorist about to blow himself up. Guess you win. Can’t beat that kind of objective documentation.

[F15Eagle]

Hey we’re all on the same side here. :)

I’d say the jihadists would use anything to justify their actions. If it wasn’t Abu Graihb, it would be Gitmo, or “infidels on Saudi soil” like Osama bin Laden.

Of course they weren’t upset on 9/11/2001. They cheered the killing of office workers and airline passengers / flight attendants / pilots.

Don’t try to understand their madness too much either way. It’s not for a rational man or woman to comprehend.

[q_an_a]

It would be nice for the Saudi’s to have a couple of truck bombs go off in their country, to see if they can close their borders and end this madness.

[F15Eagle]

Remember the 1996 (?) Khobar Towers bombing? We had a tough time getting the Saudis to cooperate then as I recall.

[holyscroller]

You forgot to identify the creature in Post #4. Her name is Hell in Thomas.

[syriacus]

At this rate Islam's "heaven" will run out of virgins.

By the way... what happens when a Muslim suicide bomber has had "relations" with each of his 72 virgins?

Does he spend the rest of eternity with 72 non-virgins?

Do the 72 women magically become virgins again?

[F15Eagle]

Do the 72 women magically become virgins again?

Actually, BION, that is also part of the lie, as I understand it. Incredible, eh?

[gogogodzilla]

Their too stupid to realize that their ‘heaven’ is in fact, hell.

For after the Islamic scum has his way with his women...

He then get to spend the rest of eternity with 72 nagging wives and their children.

[q_an_a]

I am sure we would not want to have a Saudi team come to America to do an investigation about something like 911 - on the other hand, I expect that we would not shut them out either. That is the problem - they don’t know how to repay the people that saved their country from Sad-man.
