"I saw a man whose body was broken into two pieces," said Abdul Qader Mohammed, who added that he saw a handgun near the body. "He was wearing a scarf around his face and only his eyes were showing."

Wonder if this oaf still gets an instant pass to heaven with all the virgins to sooth his pain?

He was giving a demonstration on how to be a suicide bomber. He told his audience to be very attentive as he was going to do this only once! LOL!
