FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RELEASE No. 20070325-02

RAMADI, IRAQ – Iraqi Police apprehended a suicide truck bomber and captured his vehicle, containing a large quantity of chlorine and explosives, when it failed to detonate in Ramadi March 23.

At approximately 1:30 p.m., a white cargo truck came to a halt near the entrance to the Jezeera police station, located about 150 meters from a water treatment plant. The police approached the truck for further investigation and detained the driver when they discovered the truck was rigged with explosives and the driver was attempting to detonate the vehicle.

Upon further investigation, the truck contained an unknown number of 55-gallon drums, which were used to camouflage five 1000-gallon barrels filled with chlorine and more than two tons of explosives.

The driver is being held for further questioning and all explosives were removed from the truck and destroyed by demolition experts.

You ever seen those little rubber fruit loops they use to castrate hogs?

Don't mind me, just thinking outside the box.

...was rigged with explosives and the driver was attempting to detonate the vehicle....

Why was he still drwaing breath? Where's Dirty Harry when you need him? "You feel lucky ...punk?"

[Bigh4u2]

5000 gallons is about 35,000 pounds plus 4,000 more in explosives equals about 39 to 40 THOUSAND pounds.

One things for sure.

That sure weren't no pickup truck.

Piano wire, then sew the product in his mouth.

I'm betting our guys were doing something to thwart the detonation.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I like your thinking. :o)

[miliantnutcase]

Possible cell phone jamming systems protecting the police station. Thank God.

Count me in. I suggest tortureusing Chlorine gas, I hear its a pretty painful way to die.

If its good enough for his victims , its good enough for him.

FR WAR NEWS!

WAR News at Home and Abroad You'll Hear Nowhere Else!

All the News the MSM refuses to use!

Or if they do report it, without the anti-War Agenda Spin!

Perhaps an on-the-spot test would be in order. A drop or two applied to each eye might at least tell us if it's worth further testing. The beauty of this is that you don't even harm any animals.

...located about 150 meters from a water treatment plant.

That's the real rub. These murderers aren't just going after the police and government, they are trying to annihilate all the people by destroying infrastructure. It's unbelievable that the Iraqi people haven't turned them all in years ago. There is simply no excuse for any Iraqi man to sit silently while these murderers roam among them.
