And you thought your in-laws were bad. "Girl suicide bomber shows 'al Qaeda's desperation,'" from the New Zealand Herald, August 27:
Police say they wanted to show "the desperate level al Qaeda has reached" when they released video footage of a teenage girl with an explosives vest strapped to her body.In the footage the girl is seen handcuffed to a metal grid, her head repeatedly falling forward in apparent exhaustion as several policemen huddle around her.
After several minutes, the officers lift her flowered robe, remove the white vest hidden underneath and then take her for questioning, videotaping her in the presence of reporters. They prod her to confess to plans to stage a suicide attack, but she denies the allegation.
Police in Baqouba, where the girl - who says she was born in 1993 - was caught on Sunday, said she was fitted with the explosives by female relatives of her husband, whom she married five months ago.
One police official alleged that some in the girl's family had links to the al Qaeda in Iraq terror network.
Police wanted to "show the desperate level al Qaeda has reached, with members of one family driving each other to death," said Ibrahim Bajilan, head of the provincial council in the Diyala province, of which Baqouba is the capital.
The arrest of the girl, who gave her first name as Rania, heightened concern about a rise in suicide bombings by women in Iraq. The number of female bombers has more than tripled, from eight last year to 29 this year, say US military officials. That compares with a total of four in 2005 and 2006.
The circumstances of the girl's arrest remain unclear. US officials said she had turned herself in after being hooked to the explosives against her will. Local police said she was caught by a police patrol after arousing suspicion while walking in downtown Baqouba.
Divorce, Iraqi-style.
I'm sure that in addition to pressing charges the husband will disown his sister's for attempting to murder his beloved bride, right? No! Oh wait, this is Islamoland we're talking about, so the husband probably set the whole thing up. Oops. My bad.
Great intro Ray...cracked me up.
I have FIVE sister-in-law's, so thank God they are not Muslim, lol!

Nope. It's Love - Iraqi Style.
I can't wait to hear the screeches about her being "uncovered" in this display, disregarding the bomb, etc.
tanstaafl, thanks, I hadn't thought of it from that angle. Maybe soon we'll be treated to a husband and wife team of suicide-bombers, leaving notes that this way they will united forever in paradise as martyrs.
From article: said she was fitted with the explosives by female relatives of her husband, whom she married five months ago.
And where did the female relatives get the vests? Inquiring policemen want to know...or should want to know...

duh_swami,
Haven't the police been penetrated by the terrorist networks? Five will get you ten that there is someone on the force right now who knows where the vests came from, and who probably knows this girl's entire family.
If she's telling the truth about her age, this girl was married at fifteen, perhaps for the sole purpose of getting new bombers. We'll never know, but I like to think this girl would not have done this on her own. As for her relatives, male and female, they deserve to be shot.
Her life won't be worth a nickel if she's released. Her husband's relatives will kill her, no matter if she failed in the mission or turned herself in.
What a hellish life these people live. It's very sad.
I don't now what else needs to happen to show the world once and for all that Islam brings nothing but misery everywhere it goes.
The girl was also drugged by her own mother so that her relatives could put the vest on her.
"A day after the arrest, Rania was still in a daze as she spoke about the people who put her up to it -- her relatives who forced her to don the vest and apparently drugged her; her husband, who police accuse of being a member of the group al-Qaida In Iraq, and her mother, who seemed to play a central role in turning Rania into a bomb.

'All in the Family'....Iraqi style.
They should bring this girl Stateside to the Republican convention next week, to show how islmaists use their own to kill in the name of their allah. better yet ask that dowdy looking convert from the Democrat convention try to explain how women have so many rights within Islam.
How tragic, how sad, how utterly evil.
Let us dedicate our intellect, our will and all the power at our command to defeat this monster child of Muhammad, called Islam.
DEUS VULT
No doubt, they family was hoping for a hefty payout and being looked upon as celebrities by fellow muhammadans.
Only in Dar Al Suicide Bombing you would expect terrorsits to scoop so low.
Now that his wife failed to blow up, can her husband repeat "I divorce you" three times to divorce her per Islamic Sharia law? Maybe he could text message her to divorce?
How would their founding Mohammet handle it? Hadiths and Suras anyone?
If this wasn't so sick, I could make some great jokes about this.
Girlfriend, don't go home.
If she had succeeded, would she have gotten 70 virgins?
Raymond! You should be a comedian! Your comment 'and you thought your in-laws were bad' is a classic!
I was wondering whether she gets to have 70 virgins too.
How ironic that they hate the west so much yet this woman will have to be transported to a liberal minded country, i.e. western one, lest the 'uncovered whore' (when they took the bomb off) be killed.
The whole world makes me sick. Europe and the US should get together and really invade these places. We need to smash Islam and start again with a liberal Islam-lite (for want of a better word...I guess I'd call it Christianity! I'm not religious btw, truly, but having a little bit of a brain it isn't hard to look around and see that the only places worth pledging allegience to are those which have had Christianity impact it's value systems).
John Bolton is the only politician I've seen, and Yaron Brooke (don't know if he's still with Ayn Rand Institution - I'm an Aussie and haven't had time to follow everything as much lately, unfortunately) that know what is going on.
Get them both in the white house, and build up the army.
If I were living in a savage, tribal dump like Iraq I'd want somebody to liberate me - even if I was so brainwashed I didn't know it!
Good day all, from Australia.
This is Iraq. What do you think the odds are that those weren't just her inlaws, but also her cousins? Iraqis almost always keep it in the family. Or maybe the family blew up all the female cousins already and that's why the inlaws didn't like her - because she wasn't one of them.
Somehow the fact that her mother was in on it didn't surprise me given the way 'Palestinian' mothers shriek in delight upon hearing that their sons were successful homicide bombers, or the way Shafii mothers hold their daughters down during female genital mutilation.
And Benjamin, forget about Islam-lite. There is absolutely no part of Islam that is remotely acceptable, as every single Islamic practice and belief is a horrible human rights violation, and comparing it to Christianity is like comparing apples to tapeworms. How about not enforcing ways of life on people other than making them abide by the Golden Rule, you know, like democracy and stuff? We of course tried that in Iraq and it failed miserably, and now we just want the tribes to stop warring like it's 1000 BC, which it is there for all intents and purposes. They're just not ready for democracy. They're not ready to wrap their heads around the fact that human life is precious and that all people are PEOPLE, and are thus entitled to the same rights and freedoms regardless of religion, sect, or gender.
"Muhammad brought down from heaven and put into the Koran not religious doctrines only, but political maxims, criminal and civil laws, and scientific theories. The Gospels, on the other hand, deal only with the general relations between man and God and between man and man. Beyond that, they teach nothing and do not oblige people to believe anything. That alone, among a thousand reasons, is enough to show that Islam will not be able to hold its power long in ages of enlightenment and democracy, while Christianity is destined to reign in such ages, as in all others. -Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859), French social philosopher. Democracy in America, vol. 2, pt. 1, ch. 5 (1840)."
I would even go so far as to remove the 'only' from the second line and throw quotes around 'scientific,' but DeTocqueville was a gentleman and I'm a bitch.
