The U.S. military announced the capture Saturday of an insurgent leader who was recruiting and training women, including his wife, to wrap themselves in explosives and blow themselves up — the latest sign that al-Qaida in Iraq plans to keep using women to carry out suicide attacks. In southern Iraq, a British airman was killed in a rocket attack on a base near Basra late Friday, said Capt. Finn Aldrich, a British military spokesman.

"including his wife"

Man, that guy's one special scumbag.... instead of going to find his 72 virgins himself, he's saying "darling, why don't you go blow yourself up in a marketplace and then as the grieving widower I'll take a few new wives to console myself?"

Probably they only blow their wives up after they have reproduced, which really is a shame.

Maybe the virgins in paradise have to be produced on earth. He probably loved his wife so much that he wanted an “heavenly” reunion. One can never know with jihadi logic.

If I had the computer smartness, I would take a picture of this Muslim hero and post a bullseye over him, so we can take potshots at him.
This Muslim, religion of peace, POS, doesn’t give a damn about his wife. She is probably the oldest of all the wives he has and it would be cheaper for her to just blow herself up. Soon to come to the United States, thanks to the peace loving democRATS, they will have old people, mentally ill patients and otherwise ‘useless’ people volunteer to kill themselves for the betterment of the country.

Obama reads this story and says “Hmmmm, can you really get your wife to do THAT?”

I think we should oblige them & blow them up somewhere out in the desert. Let the locals come watch & have a picnic like they used to do in the old west when they hung someone. They want to die anyway & kill whoever they can so lets be rid of them asap. We should just help them along. This way they are dead & they can't harm innocent people. The locals can see what happens when they go along with these kooks.

Perhaps this guy was part of a new Middle Eastern TV program called "Make Way for Virgins"!

Ha! That’s exactly what occurred to me when I read this! Cheaper than a divorce, I guess.
