Child Said Used in Iraq Suicide Attack

Mon Jan 31, 6:18 AM ET

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's interior minister said Monday that insurgents used a handicapped child as one of the suicide bombers who launched attacks on election day.

Falah al-Naqib told reporters in Baghdad that 38 attacks were carried out on polling stations in Iraq on Sunday and that one of the suicide bombings was carried out by a disabled child.

"A handicapped child was used to carry out a suicide attack on a polling site," al-Naqib said. "This is an indication of what horrific actions they are carrying out."

He gave no other details about the attack, but police at the scene of one the Baghdad blasts said the bomber appeared to have Down's Syndrome.

Al-Naqib praised an Iraqi citizen who was killed while blocking one suicide bomber from reaching a crowd of people outside at polling station.

Iraq's prime minister, Ayad Allawi, said the seven men who carried out suicide attacks near polling stations Sunday were foreigners. In all, insurgent attacks and suicide bombers left at least 44 people dead Sunday.

This is the guy that will be getting the virgins, not the terrorists.

Disgusting.

New techniques of the "resistance".

I strongly believe that terrorists are cowards but the cowardice you’re going to see in this story is just exceptional.
The suicide attack that was performed on an election center in one of Baghdad's districts (Baghdad Al-Jadeedah) last Sunday was performed using a kidnapped "Down Syndrome" patient.
Eye witnesses said (and I'm quoting one of my colleagues; a dentist who lives there) "the poor victim was so scared when ordered to walk to the searching point and began to walk back to the terrorists. In response the criminals pressed the button and blew up the poor victim almost half way between their position and the voting center's entrance".

I couldn't believe the news until I met another guy from that neighborhood who knows the family of the victim. The guy was reported missing 5 days prior to elections' day and the family were distributing posters that specified his descriptions and asking anyone who finds him to contact them.

When a relative of mine (who has a mental handicap due to an Rh conflict at birth) told me a month ago that a group of men in a car tried to kidnap him as he was standing in front of the institution he periodically visits to get medicine and support waiting for his brother; I thought that he was imagining the whole story.
He said that they tried to force him into the car telling him not to be afraid and that they're from the "mujahideen and not going to hurt him". My relative, despite his handicap was moved by his survival instinct and managed to run away.
After I heard the other story, I began to connect between the two stories and to consider my cousin's story as a true one that uncovered a new miserable war technique that can come only from the sickest minds.

What a huge difference there is between those who kidnap and use the mentally handicapped to perform their murders in cold blood and between the brave Iraqis who sacrificed their lives to protect their brethren. one story that is famous now in Iraq is about one brave Iraqi (A'adel Nasir) who saw a suspicious looking guy walking around a polling center in (Al- Hurriyah) district and soon the brave man realized that the suspicious guy was trying to commit a suicide attack; he ran towards him, wrestled him and knocked him down causing the bomb carried by the terrorist to explode, sacrificing his own life and saving the lives of the people standing in line at the gate of the voting center. It turned out later that the terrorist carried a Sudanese id.
Now, the school that hosted the voting center on the 30th carries the name of A'adel Nasir, as the Iraqi minister of education announced today.

The pathetic terrorists are breaking one world record after another in cowardice and insanity and this tells how bankrupt they're getting.

Just the type of stuff 'Il Duce' would do.

A sad end to a sad and short life. Who still thinks we're fighting 'minutemen'? Who still thinks the terrorists are exercising their right to self-defense and are the real freedom-fighters?

I hate them. I'm going to work in two hours, and I'm going to try my best to help kill as many of them as I can. When I get relieved after a twelve-hour shift, I hope the world will be a little bit better place.

Wish me luck.

Keep Allah busy my brother.

Allah's going to have to put in a 'Now Serving' number dispenser, a doorman, and one o' them roll-over counter billboards, deadeye. I intend to have it sporting a number bigger than on a McDonald's sign before I retire. If The Big Guy has that many virgins to go around, it'll go a long way toward explaining the thin pickings down here on Earth.

Your sarcasm is truly a highlight of my day. Keep up the good work, and send more of the bastards to meet their maker... If he'll have them

Thanks for the words. I'm not sure it really sinks in to y'all just how much it means to me and my people to see, hear and read the expressions of support. I'll put it simply: IT IS VITAL. We literally would not be able to maintain the load without The People. And if we lose, it's because Ted Kennedy, Ward Churchill and some others around here got the upper hand, and convinced enough of you to call us off.

But if you believe in us and what we're doing...we'll win it for you. I promise.

Leader

I believe in you Blue. Good luck.

Bluesman

Thanks, buddy.

I just wish the bastards had antlers, ya know? Something to put over the fireplace...

Julie

They have nothing...not even a heart or soul.

You are our rock Bluesman.
