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."

HA!!
Very good!!
If it were up to me I'd award y'all an "A" for "Creative Thinking"; albeit, somewhat greedy.
72 orgasms would be generous enough (*I* would think) as-is; but, noooooo.
Not for YOU TWO.
You'd suggest the reward be of the multiple variety, eh.
Assumes an awful lot about Allah, don'tcha think?
Uhhh huh.
OK, Robinson & Co.
...take 'em away for regroving. ;^)
Alright now!
That'll be quite enuogh outa you, young Lady.
It'll do you no good -- whatsoever -- trying to play both sides against the middle by shmoozing the Libertarians.
...so don't even try. {g}
HA!!
Well Risa, that assumes such an animal could be located, (never mind *7*) I'll grant you that.
Nevertheless it *is* Allah we're speaking about here; &, well "Allah is great" & all that, right?
Besides, if what you assert is true?
It'd only go to show that things might in fact be "unfair" as hell here in the states for the fairer sex.
...but it's an even lousier deal in Islamafanaticaland.
I'm curious as to opinions here. Who would find it easier to shoot down a female combatant like a female suicide bomber--a male US soldier, or a female US soldier?
Just wondering.
You are too funny! Bless you--you always make me laugh.
ALERT...FOX NEWS.com (AP): "CAR EXPLODES IN IRAQ, KILLING THREE COALITION SOLDIERS, PREGNANT WOMAN" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Later, the Iraqi government news agency, in a report carried on Arab satellite TV, reported that two Iraqi women carried out a suicide attack on U.S. forces northwest of Baghdad. It appeared to refer to the same blast. Al-Jazeera also carried video of two women vowing to commit suicide attacks. The station did not specify if the two were involved in the explosion, though it broadcast their statements immediately after citing the news agency report.")(April 4, 2003) (Read More...)
Y'know Risa??
I can't tell you how many times I've been told that by the opposite sex in my lifetime. {g}
"And frankly, these days, it would be just as unlikely to find 7 female virgins!"
Yea-yea...we sure have succeeded in screwing *all* things up equally, huh.
"I live in fear today that somehow these people will gain a foothold in our federal government. It is what the liberals support, and what the Muslims intend to do, afterall."
Think so?
Maybe.
I only fear the Liberal, and they're already here.
"As an aside, imo, today, the white male is discriminated against in our culture, because of our history of affirmative action and tokenism--I've witnessed this many times in my life."
I agree.
I'm one of those, y'know.
Still, what goes around comes around & there are now (& yet to come) some dreadful unintended consequences for the Liberal-Socialist's meddlesome meddling. Fact.
"...I and my female friends have not encountered such disadvantge in our careers or family life."
A good deal of the hysteria concerning "bias," "prejudice" et al is courtesy of our *friends* in Hollyweird.
Because if you set out to find someone whose either witnessed and/or been the "victim" of the "boogeyman" that's supposedly running amok in our American society?
You may as well look for the Holy Grail while you're at it as the time it'll take will be about the same.
Still, the Liberal-Socialists have gotten their way & we're forced live under & by their very strange idea of what *our* lives should be.
Whadda way to be free, huh.
"But I still enjoyed a hearty laugh when I read your response!"
Splendid.
...then I'll consider the interaction a success! ;^)
