Terrorists Tie Bomb Belt To Dog In Iraq

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.

Poor dog. Next thing you know they'll try a donkey or a horse. Wouldn't want to give the nutcases any ideas.

Isn't this reminiscent of the ill-fated exploding donkey last year?

Call PETA.

That's it. This "insurgency" is OVER!

Wow! Even the suicide bombers are cowards. It would serve them right if the dog chased a cat right into their mosque.

Another brilliant PR move by the terrorists. Keep it up. Just another nail in the coffin of " Islam is a religion of Peace". when is the last time a Christian, Jew, Buddhist,Hindu blew up a dog? I rest my case. It's not a religion, its a violent cult. So call me PC insensitive.
closed with my tag line!

PETA maintains self-protective silence. Admit that a blown-up dog is worth protesting, while our our blown-up young men aren't even worthy of mention? Shh-h-h-h.

Insurgents in Iraq … The militants wrapped …

Call 'em what YOU like, but THEY'RE the animals and the US can't kill enough of them, their contemporaries, or their progeny to suit me.

The Soviets trained dogs to run under German vehicles with explosives strapped to their backs. When antennas on the pack came in contact with the vehicle - boom! So another soulless "ism" destroys more Innocent life trying to destroy innocent life.

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

NOW, the liberals will get upset!

Killing Americans? No problems = worthy resitance, noble fighters!

Killing fellow Muslims, now freed from Saddamn's tyrrany? = "Freedom fighters"

Killing innocent children? Using children to kill otehr innocents?

But killing a dog?
