Former Gitmo detainee blows himself up in Iraq, ISIS claims responsibility
Popular Military ^ | 2-21-17

Posted on 02/21/2017 6:22:54 PM PST by SJackson

The Islamic State group on Monday claimed responsibility for a suicide attack near Mosul it said was carried out by a British suicide bomber, the SITE Intelligence Group reported.

“The martyrdom-seeking brother Abu Zakariya al-Britani — may Allah accept him — detonated his explosives-laden vehicle on a headquarters of the Rafidhi army and its militias in Tal Kisum village, southwest of Mosul,” the claim quoted by SITE said.

The ISIS statement did not say when the bombing occurred.

Abu Zakariya al-Britani was identified by BBC as Ronald Fiddler, a Brit who was seized by US forces in Afghanistan and taken to Guantanamo Bay in 2002. He was let go from the Guantanamo Bay prison in 2004 after then-Labor Home Secretary David Blunkett lobbied for his release by claiming mistreatment.

“No one who is returned … will actually be a threat to the security of the British people,” said Blunket at the time of Fiddler’s release.

The BBC reports that Fiddler crossed into Syria in 2014 to join forces with ISIS.

IS fighters of a variety of nationalities, including Britons, have carried out suicide attacks on many occasions in Iraq and Syria in the past three years.

The IS statement said that the British fighter’s attack, and that of another suicide bomber of Iraqi nationality, caused many casualties but AFP could not immediately verify the claim.

Another Son of Obama blows himself up in an act that showed how reformed he was.

IF all of this is confirmed, it should be rammed down the throats of the Obama advisors as well as the Comrade himself (and his State Dept. media whore mouthpieces), as well as those in the media who questioned our worrying about the “brothers” going back to terrorism.

As Rahm Emanuel could have said if he were sane, “Never left a good terrorist’s death go to waste”.

And the fascist, extreme leftwing snowflakes whine about waterboarding them. Waterboarding never blew anybody to pieces.

This is what happens when you take islamic prisoners.
In the future, take NO prisoners. Waterboard em in the field to get whatever info is possible, then kill em right there in the field when finished. Let their little piss-ant god, allah, sort em all out.

This is what Bush gets for listening to some A-hole UK Labour Party Cabinet Secretary.

I’ve said it before, release them ALL, into the atmosphere. Do it now, before some lib scheme to free them succeeds.
