SICK 'MARTYR KITS'

Secret documents known as "martyrs' kits" obtained by The Post provide a startling glimpse into the world of suicide bombers, who are recruited with promises that their families will be well taken care of financially.

These kits ensure that the families of Hamas, PLO and Palestinian Islamic Jihad killers get generous "charitable donations" from Saudi Arabia-based organizations and, while he was in power, Saddam Hussein.

The documents reviewed by The Post include a martyr kit for Maher Kamel Hbeishe, a Hamas fanatic who blew himself up on a Haifa bus Dec. 2, 2001, killing 15 Israelis and wounding 40.

Much of the kit's paperwork carries the corporate logo of the Arab Bank — the Middle East's most important and influential financial institution — and the numbers of the accounts through which his family was paid.

The cover on Hbeishe's file — in the records of Saudi relief committees — proclaims: "the martyrs receive reward from their Lord, they and their light."

Replete with florid Arabic tributes to dead terrorists, the paperwork explains the manner of death, making it clear that the bank knew exactly whom it was giving money to and why.

Keeps making me wonder why we didn't invade Saudi Arabia.

These kits ensure that the families of...Jihad killers get generous "charitable donations" from...Saddam Hussein.

That can't be. As we all know, Saddam was secular and had nothing to do with Islamic terrorists. (/sarcasm)

"Keeps making me wonder why we didn't invade Saudi Arabia."

Ain't that the truth! I've been wondering the same thing ever since they slapped the embargo on us back in 1973.

my version of a "martyr kit" would explode immediately upon being opened by the aspiring terrorist - thus providing instant martyrdom.

How about a patriot kit? A broken down assault rifle, several filled clips, and a container of Farmer John lard...

A bank spokesman said, "Arab Bank abhors terrorism. The bank would never do business with individuals or organizations it knows to be terrorists."

or in other words....
It depends on what the meaning of IS is.
