Female suicide bombers attacked US troops

Iraq's state news agency has claimed two Iraqi women carried out a suicide attack on US forces north-west of Baghdad.

The claim appeared to refer to a blast hours earlier at a checkpoint that killed three coalition soldiers, a pregnant woman and the car's driver.

Arabic satellite station Al-Jazeera later carried videos of two women vowing to commit suicide attacks.

It did not specify if the two were involved in the explosion earlier in the day, but it broadcast their statements immediately after mentioning the Iraqi news agency report.

US Central Command said the car exploded at a US special operations checkpoint in western Iraq. Brigadier General Vincent Brooks said it wasn't clear if the pregnant woman voluntarily took part in the attack.

The apparent suicide attack was about 11 miles south-west of the Haditha Dam. The site is north-west of Baghdad and about 80 miles east of the Syrian border.

Al-Jazeera broadcast separate tapes of two Iraqi women, each of whom stood in front of the Iraqi flag, brandishing an automatic rifle. The videotapes were similar to those of Palestinian suicide bombers distributed after attacks against Israelis.

A woman who identified herself as "martyrdom-seeker Nour Qaddour al-Shanbari" said: "We say to our leader and holy war comrade, the hero commander Saddam Hussein, that you have sisters that you and history will boast about."

In a separate video, another woman, who identified herself as Wadad Jamil Jassem, said: "I have devoted myself to jihad for the sake of God and against the American, British and Israeli infidels and to defend the soil of our precious and dear country."

Lesbians?

Hey, we mean business. If it's proven they're involved, we won't hesitate to attack the Isle of Lesbos as well.

I doubt she was pregnant. It was probably a ton of explosives hidden under her burka. Last night on Fox, A soldier was asked "If you could play any song on the way into Baghdad, what would it be? The soldier responded "Kill'em All" by Metallica. I'm starting to think the same thing. Men, women, children, and half brained suicidal nutcases are all qualified to die. If they're totin' they'll be swiss cheese.

Women should not be in combat.



** Suicide-bombing is not combat!

It sounds like the Fedayeen thugs forced an unwilling pregnant woman into the car and let her scream in fear before detonating the vehicle.

These Baathist thugs are the moral equivalent of the Nazi SS who ran the extermination camps in World War II.

Bump.

[crazycat]

I'm not even sure the SS was as blatantly evil, they moved behind closed doors. Just as awfull all the same.

Does anyone really believe that a pregnant woman would blow her and her baby up? Even a radical muslim woman has too much hormones working against that kind of mindless fanaticism. Surely this woman was an unwitting victim of this Iraqi atrocity as well as our troops killed by this bomb blast.

The male Islamafanatic get 7 virgins when they sacrifice their life for Allah.

Wonder how the payback works for the opposite sexed Islamafanatic?

This must be what the Iraqi Intelligence spokesman called "beautiful" "unconventional attacks of martyrdom"

A new wrinkle.

In more ways than one......

PREGNANT WOMAN??? ONE OF THE HOMOCIDE BOMBERS WAS PREGNANT??? *&^%$#@! flipping psycho B@STARDS....there is NO WAY I'm gonna believe a pregnant woman voluntarily blew both herself and her unborn child up. She was forced, and sacrificed herself and unborn child to save her other children.......

.....Lie down and STAY DEAD, Saddam. There was a time when I thought I'd miss you when you were gone, because you were so predictable - and actually, that sort of thing is not Saddam's style. His terrorist followers are running the show.

If the pregnant woman's fetus was a boy, what does he get in heaven? Seventy-Two baby bottles?

144 Lactating, although still virginal breasts!

Good choice.

...another woman, who identified herself as Wadad Jamil Jassem,...

And Wadad had a face like a camel. There will be no danger of American troops fraternizing with the Iraqi women.
