A possible lead in this story. From the Mail & Guardian Online, :
Kenyan authorities believe three terrorism suspects detained at the weekend are potential suicide bombers who may be linked to this month's murder of a British Broadcasting Corporation journalist in Somalia, a senior police official said on Monday.The trio had documents detailing the fatal shooting on February 9 in Mogadishu of BBC producer Kate Peyton as well as other documents indicating that they had been trained to carry out suicide attacks, the official said.
In addition, the official, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity, said the three were believed to have ties to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network.
"They had documents detailing the killing of the BBC and documents that indicated they were trained suicide bombers," the official said.
"The documents don't say whether these men were actually involved in the murder but they give precise details of the killing," the official said.
OT~ and I realize this guy is a polarizing figure, but I think people might find his account of things in Afghanistan interesting:

Just, exactly, how do you 'train' a suicide bomber? Are they not like those disposable rocket launchers we used way back when?
Havoc it takes a mastermind to train suicide bombers.
Masterminds are another word that comes up all the time.
You keep hearing about these terrorists masterminds that get killed in the middle east.
Terrorists masterminds.
Mastermind is sort of a lofty way to describe what these guys do, don’t you think?
They’re not masterminds.
“OK, you take bomb, right? And you put in your backpack. And you get on bus and you blow yourself up. Alright?”
“Why do I have to blow myself up? Why can’t I just…”
“Who’s the fucking mastermind here? Me or you?”
I like this one very much.
I'm wondering the same thing as Havoc. What do you have to do to qualify as a suicide bomber - fail an IQ test?
interesting that the story of Kate Peyton is only lightly covered by the BBC ITSELF.

Would the Jihadist nature of this murder have anything to do with this?
Abu Graib yields 75 results
KAte payton 3 results.
"We will ask the UK government to press the UN as well as the Somali authorities to pursue these killers," he said."
Is this what they get in return for their obsequious appeasement? And they are going to turn to the UN for help in pursuing the killers? The only way the UN would have a breath of a chance of finding the killers is if they were underage girls!
Pitiful ...
How much training can a person need, to blow themselves to hell??? Training isn't the right expression.....
Only severe religious brain-washing could influence anyone to do this kind of rabid madness, which makes every muslim the perfect candidate for it (exept for the clerics who feel much better telling the rest of the muslim world what they should be doing, what to eat, when to breath, what position to sit in when shitting..... but when it comes to giving up their own pathetic lives for their pathetic "cause", their faith seems to take a critical nose-dive!!!).
Sometimes I wonder why muslims don't all simultaneously commit hari kari, if they're so fond of the idea of after-life..... no-one would miss them.
Once again we see our "allies" in action....
Anyone from the outside , looking in, can see that the bond between the US and Pakistan is unbreakable.
Sarcasm off....
It's time we cut all our ties with these upside-down thinking clit-biters.
Alliegence
with muslims is an impossible scenario, any "human" who favours the afterlife (that most likely judging by todays science, does not exist) over actual life, is not the kind of person you want to be collaborating with. Their every waking moment is filled with acts of sheer lunacy, and befriending them is one of ours.
They can be no more trusted to round up terrorists than they can be trusted not to fornicate with your pet camel.
Mr.Spencer,
Sorry that last post was on the wrong thread.....
Delete it if you want.
Maybe the training they speak of, really more has to do with convincing a Moslem
that becoming a martyr by blowing one’s self to pieces guarantees entrance
to paradise. Maybe the human body’s natural tendency to want to stay together is more difficult to overcome than first though? It certainly does not take much training to put a bomb belt on, get on the bus and pull the trigger, while yelling Allah ackbar!
No, thank you, Rikki, I would like Mr.Spencer to keep it exactly as it is. It is very instructive. It goes to show how some of us are in this for their own freedom - and some because they hate other people having different views. I will carefully bear in mind your insulting references to those of us who believe in God and eternal life. We can be allies against the evil of Islam, but other than that, I reserve the right to cross the road to avoid your likes.
