Muriel's second husband was believed to have died in Iraq at some point before her death.

Another article pointed out that her jihadi husband had been killed by U.S. forces. I seem to be hearing a lot of this these days. The Iraqi female suicide bomber in Jordan also had several jihadi relatives killed by U.S. forces. What this anecdotal evidence tells me is that we are killing a *lot* of these jihadis in Iraq, which most of us already suspected.

If I were going to translate it into a newspaper headline, I'd leave out the Here is and simply say over the photo, ala NYPOST, The Belgian Kamikaze Killed in Iraq, since it is just meant to identify her.

However, the use of the passive is strange indeed. It makes it sound completely innocent on her part, or as if she was simply one of many Belgian kamikazes, sort of like a Belgian suicide brigade, that everybody knew about and was actually rooting for. It almost made it sound as though Belgians would be grieved by her death. I assume was a reflection of the media's agenda or their desire to avoid offending Belgium's substantial Muslim population.

BTW, her husband actually was killed, but certainly was not innocent: our troops shot him when he was attempting to pull off another attack somewhere else. Good work!

She was 38? *sigh* Before you know it, they're all blown up and gone...

[Revolting cat!]

In this country, we say the chick is toast. In Belgium, they say she's waffle!

This woman married 2 muslim men. I didn't think muslim women could even get divorced. What kind of parents did this girl have? She must have had no self-esteem what so ever. This is going to happen a lot more with the Europeans.
