Just a thought, but a good one, I think.

Might have some validation.

Wasn't there some opinions that most of the hijackers on 9-11 did not know they were on a suicide mission and only the leaders, who were in the cockpit, knew the true nature os the hijackings.

However, if these guys were tricked into carrying these bombs

Is this article saying that they were moderate muslims? Hated the West but not enough to be suicide bombers? Maybe transporting the bombs from one location to another and they were blown up by remote control? What about the guy on the bus who was frantically looking through his backpack? Did he have second thoughts about his role as a courier or was he looking for his detonator?

You are probably on to something. Do you remember reports that most of the 19 bombers of WTC did not know they were on a suicide mission? Can't remember where I heard that, but it makes sense. 19 wanting to commit suicide together is a lot, it seems.

I've been wondering the same thing.

The story of the guy rummaging in his pack on the bus did not feel right. Why rummage through a pack that's about to go off.

And where's all the "Allah is great" (not!) shouting before the explosion?

I've been thinking the same thing. "Hey Abdul, take these bombs to London and drop them off on the subway. Be sure to get away by 9:30." 8:50 BOOM!

4 evil shlubs are dead, but al qaida gets to hear about "the first "suicide" bombings in Eurabia on CNN and no one can finger the leader.

I heard on the radio news at the top of the hour that most of the bombers did not fit the typical idiot suicide bomber profile. However, they agreed to carry bombs onto trains, so I am not going to get all weepy over the possibility that they were double crossed.

If one is an unwitting martyr, does one still get 72 virgins? Is being a homicidal maniac enough to get you half credit for 36 virgins, even if you are not prepared to blow yourself up in the process of killing the infidel?

Better log on to Ask the Imam and get the definitive answer to these questions...

Where did I read that inspection of car bomb sites determined drivers' hands were tapped to the steering wheel?

We've been talking about his since it happened. One of the things that was discovered in Iraq is that the suicide bombers there often didn't know they were going to be bombers.

Several have survived and told us about it. The most "famous" one was the Saudi who drove a rigged fuel truck. He survived the blast but is horribly scarred and in pain. He revealed he was told to just park the truck and walk away. LOL, he said he felt "betrayed".

I'll bet the bombers were shocked when they met St. Peter at the gate and not a dozen virgins.

My previous post from another thread on this same theme:

Terrorist #1,2,3 & 4: What sets the bombs off?

Terrorist #5: Don't worry, they're on a timer. You have plenty of time to get away

Terrorists #1,2,3 &4: What is that stripped down Cell Phone doing in with the trigger mechanism?

Terrorist #5: Oh that. That's just in case you need to make an emergency call. Nothing to worry about.

A fly in the ointment is why then did they all split up and each head on a different tube/bus? I think your points are valid but you must explain the splitting up.

I think Islam is a cult. That article may just help prove it.
