Thread: Iraqi woman had 80 women raped then recruited as suicide bombers

Detained in January by Iraqi security forces, the mother of six is accused of converting dozens of vulnerable women into suicide attackers.

In an apparent video confession, the middle-aged woman described how she identified potential bombers, helped supply them with explosives and led them to their targets.

She also explained, in a separate interview with the Associated Press, how insurgents used rape as a tool, with the "shamed" women persuaded to redeem themselves through suicide attacks.

Her apparent confession could help throw light on the recent increase in attacks in Iraq involving female bombers.

In 2007, there were eight suicide attacks by women; in 2008 there were 32, the US military says. In early January, a female bomber killed at least 35 Shia pilgrims in a blast near a Baghdad shrine.

Insurgents use female bombers because they can hide explosives under their robes and are less likely to be searched by male guards at security checkpoints.

'Bring her to us'

Samira Jassim worked with Sunni militants from the Ansar al-Sunnah group in Diyala province, one of the last remaining centres of Sunni insurgency, Iraqi security officials said.

She had recruited 80 women to act as bombers, 28 of whom had gone on to launch attacks, a military spokesman told journalists at a news conference in Baghdad.

In a filmed confession, the black-robed Jassim described how she recruited one woman for an attack in the city of Mukdadiyah, 100 km (62 miles) northeast of Baghdad.

"I talked to her a number of times," she said. "I went back to them (the militants) and gave them the details on her. And they told me, bring her to us... And I took her to the police station and that's where she blew herself up."

She also described the long process of persuading a woman named Amal, who had family problems, to launch an attack.

"I talked to her many times, sat with her and she was very depressed," she said.

In a separate interview with AP a week after her 21 January arrest, Jassim also described how insurgents used organised rape as a way of generating more bombers.

Her role was to persuade the traumatised victims that carrying out a suicide attack was their only way out.

That claim was impossible to verify, AP said, and during their interview with her police interrogators sat in an adjoining room.

But in a culture where rape is considered very shameful for the victim, it is not implausible, correspondents say.

Looks like we know why NY Times and CNN did not report on the more sickening twists of the alleged crimes.

Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm the veracity of her confession.

They say that Islam is a peaceful religion. They don't condone pre-marital bliss (Stoning), Adultery (Stoning), Rape (Stoning for the men), so everything they do no matter what is all against the supposed great religion they call Islam. HYPOCRITES.

For those who plan to vomit his/her hatred against islam over this... Today random news: Sao Paulo / Brazil; 9 years old christian girl is pregnant from his christian step father. USA / Ohio; christian Kenneth Douglas had sex with many death women....

There are (recorded) 4000 rapes in Iraq since US occupation. Youngest victim is 9 years old and oldest one is 64. Sometimes US soldiers also kill victims and their families. It is also known fact that many resistance fighter's women relatives were taken by US soldiers and they are disappeared.

It is believed that Iraqis are not afraid of death as much as fear of sexual violence. So at the beginning of the occupation US Army also shared photos of their sexual harassments against Iraqis as dark propaganda.

As a result of occupation, Iraq turned to hell and US gained some political and economical privileges in 21th century. I hope one day American oligarchy overs and other mothers and sisters don't experience that kind of free democracy too.

You need to provide the links to these "recorded" events. Dozens or at worst maybe in the hundreds I'd find credible, but thousands is simply out of this park. Also, I'm not sure if you've read the news, but Iraq is not hell anymore. During the dark years of 2006-2007 and some of early 2008, but peace has broken out across Iraq with some rare exceptions. Lastly, what are these photos that are for propaganda purposes? If you're talking Abu Ghraib, they certainly weren't for propaganda, unless you think they were created for insurgent/terrorist propaganda purposes.

What a nice canidate to be thrown into a wild pack of dogs after being doused with something the dogs find quite edible. Hell even if I was a sniper I wouldnt think twice about turning her swith "off" for good.

Look! I will justify one bad behavior by pointing out other bad behaviors. I will also make unsubstantiated claims and accuse others of committing war crimes to make me feel better about myself.

And how many of these can you acclaim to a US soldier and not some idiot extremeist trying to put fear into people that live in the troubled areas of Iraq?

*Any US soldier knows the price they will pay for braking the UCMJ. And its not just a slap on the wrists either.

I think there are some gentlemen here that could relay exactly what would happen to a US soldier for raping a child or other. And I mean before you get to the legal part of the infraction. More then likely a much more physical punishment between ones own comrads is definately forthcoming and certainly unavoidable. US troops do not prey upon 9 year olds nor 64 year olds for rape nor any other and if they are found then whatever they get they deserve.

***But they surely do not deserve a generalization as you posted above. The thought alone is absurd and at the very least worthy of an apology. Whenever your ready.


I'm very interested in knowing where you are getting this information from? care to point out a valid source for these un nerving claims?

It sounds to me about as credible as the "sandbaging" roumers.
