Terrorists tie bomb belt to dog in Iraq

(Filed: 27/05/2005)

Insurgents in Iraq attached explosives to a dog and tried to blow up a military convoy near the northern oil centre of Kirkuk.

The canine bomb went off but the only casualty was the unfortunate animal, said police. The militants wrapped an explosive belt around the dog and detonated it as the convoy passed through Dakuk, 25 miles south of Kirkuk, said the town's police chief, Col Mohammed Barzaji.

"The dog was torn apart by the explosion which caused neither injury among the soldiers nor any damage."

Col Barzaji said the bomb had been detonated outside a Shia mosque. "Eight suspects have been detained."

This was not the first time that animals have been used in insurgent attacks. In 2003, donkey carts were used to conceal makeshift multiple rocket launchers in a flurry of attacks in Baghdad. Animal carcasses and human corpses have been used to conceal explosives.

Now maybe the lefties will get pissed off.

HA! The only thing the lefties are pissed off about is that the insugency is struggling and it's obvious they're going to lose.

They won't get involved in this case, it's not according to their agenda, now if it were a American that did this, we would hear this on the MSM 24/7.

Pretty good news, really. This means that the bad guys weren't able to brainwash any humans into doing the deed. Volunteers for suicide missions are apparently in short supply.

">We need to infiltrate the Iraqi mosques and find out who the martyrs are."

That's an easy one,,,, they all are. No infiltration needed, just extermination of their moon god. Once Baalah is vaporised, their cult has nothing to worship.

ABC CBS NBC CNN its all the SAME, Propaganda.
Might as well call them all AmeriJazerra.
