You may have something there. For something is afoot in all these cases where families say it wasn't my son or my father or my husband who was there terrorist. The family of the Eqyptian pilot who dove an Eqyptian airline into the Atlantic off the U.S. east Coast said the same thing. To everyone who knew them it just didn't make sense, but maybe months later it made them some dollars and cents.
Brains has never been a requirement for cannon fodder, and that is just what they were.
Oh my, I know you didn't mean anything, but you can't say that in here.
It's "homicide bombing".
I hope you're not banned. You seem like such a nice person.
Samantha, buy a clue. He's on video with the other three homocide bombers and they weren't going to a campout with those backpacks. He wanted to go to get his 72 virgins and didn't give a rip about you and the baby. When will these clueless women learn that these are not matches made in heaven?
I think I would say something like this:
“He wasn’t the sort of person who’d do this. I won’t believe it until I see proof.”
I wonder if she's still setting a place for him at dinner, waiting for him to show up.
Or maybe they where pushed into it. Such as, "If you don't do this your family dies."
I don't know what happened yet, I have an open mind on this.
Send the stupid twit a pork chop.
Yeah, I was going to be super accurate and say "homisuicide bombing," but decided that a traditional, well-known, broadly accepted term is better than one constructed for political or grammatical correctness.
Dang it, Xenalyte, you beat me to it !!
...unless, of course, she takes it for granted that he gets to act like a Tomcat and prowl around away from home for weeks at a time.
Cheers!
Scott Adams of Dilbert fame once said:
Everyone is someone else's weirdo.
I hereby introduce grey_whiskers' corollary:
Some people are everyone's weirdo.
Cheers!
LOL! Maybe he told her he had to take a once in a lifetime Haj.
...just wait till her kid gets to be 15....
One more time...The free world must make an announcement to future suicide bombers: You may choose to take your own life in order to carry out your personal convictions. However, if you do, we will come and kill your wife, your children, your Mother and your Father, sisters and brothers. If you choose to murder innocent people, we will do the same. Period. And then, we have to do it.
Your theory is contradicted by the fact that the fourth bomber, after failing to explode his bomb in the subway, sought another location with high concentration of potential victims and blew up an hour later in the bus. They knew exactly what they were doing.
It's a conspiracy! That's why they bring the ambulances in at night! /SARC

Problem with that answer is that as to four of them, they are out there in the flesh walking around doing deals. And the FBI's only answer is that there was some identity theft involved--which is possible.
But as we drift on down this path, there are also a number of unanswered questions. If these guys were suicide bombers, why were they carrying the bombs in their packs--normally, suicide bombers have the bombs strapped on. And further, if they were suicide bombers, why were the bombs triggered with timers? That, according to all of the authorities is really unusual.
And tell us again how we can learn that these were the guys who were in fact tied to the bombs. Now her line about DNA is not going to develop any evidence--if we get DNA from the event site, all that proves is that he died there. How do we really know how he was related to the event.
And the follow on is an immediate push for parliment to enact a National ID statute--how would that have prevented this event?
