"Martyr Khattab would be a reference to Amir ibn al-Khattab, an al-Qaeda leader in Chechnya. The leader of the al-Qaeda fighters in Iraq is Abu Iyad. He was last seen in the Pankisi Gorge."

Coincidence? I don't think so. I wonder if there are any Chechens involved?

[Angelus Errare]

Well, here's a charming thought:

Chechens are Caucasians, so if they put on those captured US uniforms they can probably pass themselves as US soldiers and then carry out a suicide bombing inside or near a military compound without anyone realizing what's going on until it's too late.
