IRAQ: 'CORPSE BOMB' TACTIC
aki ^ | 6/5/7

Posted on 06/05/2007 4:11:55 AM PDT by NativeNewYorker

Baghdad, 6 June (AKI) - Iraqi insurgents have experimented a "corpse bomb", a police official in the Nineveh province has told the pan Arab daily al-Sharq al-Awsat.

According to Major Al-Karim al-Jibburi a group of armed men beheaded a local police officer near Mosul late Sunday, and then rigged his body with explosives and loaded it into a police car.

When the policeman's colleagues came to retrieve his body- al Jibburi said - the insurgents triggered the device by remote control. It's not the first time that a corpse in Iraq has been booby-trapped with explosives but local security officials fear it could become a more frequent tactic.

Meanwhile, on Monday, an official of the interior ministry General Rashid Falih, accused Iran of supporting militiamen in Basra who were stirring up violence in the city.

According to the official, members of the local coast guard are constantly involved in following vessels coming from Iran which are allegedly ferrying arms to Shiite insurgent groups.

Ah, yes, the minions of the mad pedophile “prophet”.

Aren’t they clever.

Their satanic butchery and depredation seems to know no boundaries.

Amen. You have to hand it to them... just when you think you can't be aghast at anything anymore, they aghast you again.

I am not familiar with AKi. Where did they come from?

Bad guys have been pulling this stunt since time immemorial.

Seems to me that 1/2 the waterway becomes a target rich environment!

When caught, these muzzies should be killed, their families pulled into the street and killed, their dogs, cats and chickens should be killed, wrapped in hog fat and left in a pile on the edge of town to rot! Give the rest of their possessions to Iraqi’s that fight on our side.

Those people can no longer be classified as human. Savage aberrations, but not human.

Not really new news, they had plans to have Muslims on plane with plastique in their rectal cavities to be detonated remotely. Any Muslims with toothpaste or Preparation H should be body cavity searched.

Someone who beheads a policeman, riggs his body with explosives and kills other innocent people with it is an “insurgent” ???

The adage - "war is hell" comes to mind.

They are at war and giving us hell while we on the other hand, are not permitted to make war and give hell.

I recall reading about this technique a few years back. It was used against civilians when they came to pick up the remains of their kidnapped and murdered relative.

Okay, here’s what we do. Crash a remote-control helicopter with dummies in military uniforms in the middle the worst nest of thugs. When the lunatics come out to dance around it, grab the “bodies”, etc, blow the sucker sky high. Repeat until message received.

Given the number of things that have been used to disguise IED's I think if I were in country I wouldn't go near anything bigger than a bottle cap. If there is a problem with that, being that trash is everywhere, clean up the trash and eliminate the hiding places.

This isn’t really suprising when these same people will hardwire schools being built with bombs, or drive a carbomb into a home which cares for the elderly, or which leaves two children inside of a car as the carbomb goes off.

I would only be surprised if they did not partake in such things.
