U.S. killed confessed [Jordan] bomber's brothers, friends say (A CAUTIONARY TALE FOR TERRORISTS)

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- The Iraqi woman who said she failed in her bid to blow herself up in an Amman hotel had three brothers killed by U.S. forces, friends of the woman said Tuesday. In a response to the bombings, Jordanian officials unveiled tough new anti-terror measures.

The killings of Sajida Mubarak al-Rishawi's three brothers in Iraq's volatile Anbar province is being considered as a possible motivation behind her bid to take part in last week's triple bombings, which killed 60 people, including her husband and two Iraqi bombers.

Friends of al-Rishawi, who comes from Anbar's provincial capital of Ramadi, told The Associated Press that three of her brothers were killed by U.S. forces.

Thamir al-Rishawi, regarded as a known member of an al Qaeda in Iraq terror cell operating in Anbar, was killed during the April 2004 U.S. operations in Fallujah when an air-to-ground missile hit his pickup.

Two other brothers, Ammar and Yassir, were killed in two separate attacks against U.S. troops in Ramadi, said the two friends, who declined to be identified further because they feared retribution from insurgent forces.

I am just glad they caught her before the "Israel did this" rumors had a chance to catch on in Jordan.

al-Rishawi... (said) that three of her brothers were killed by U.S. forces.

Really?

Does she have any other brothers we don't know about?

Just cleaning up the jihad pool.

Oh, I don't know. I hope that we can help the entire family get to a reunion... I'd certainly love to see her join the rest of her family... In HELL!

CNN is trying to justify this terrorist.
Too bad the logic won't work: Americans killed her brothers, so she kill Jordanians?

And so she attacks Palestinians and Jordanians in Amman?

CNN is trying a little "see there, the Iraq war has CREATED more terrorists" but it doesn't fly with me.

Really??? Ask her what her 'brothers' were doing to get that kind of attention from coalition forces.

Ask her what her Muslim 'brothers' were thinking when they attacked the US on 9/11.

So US forces killed her brothers, who were trying to kill them. As her comeback to the US forces, she was involved in a plot to blow up a wedding party of Joranians and Palestineans.

In the islamofascist mind, that makes perfect sense.

One thing it tells me is that it ain't easy to get at the US forces in Iraq.

Well, her brothers proved it's too tough to kill Americans, so she went hunting easier targets.

Well, it makes perfect sense to me. If you can't kill American soldiers in Iraq, just strap on a bomb and kill wedding guests in Jordan.

The same three brothers who would have stoned her to death had she shown so much as an ankle to the outside world. These are 12th century brainless heathens who need to be exterminated now!

Got to wonder if she'll get 72 virgins like her brothers did. ;~))

If they just educated their women, they could fix those pesky, defective explosive vests! Probably had it tuned up at Tikrit Terror, which is notorious for overcharging mere women.

And really, wearing RDX and ball bearings to a wedding? I would have thought a more conservative vest with HTX or HMX and concrete nails would have been more apprpriate. Peasant.
