The Stench of Suicide Bombers
2005-07-19
EFL and WTF?
ONE of the London terrorists bought more than $2000 worth of designer perfume as a deadly napalm-style ingredient in the bombs.

Just three days before the carnage, Jamaican-born Jermaine Lindsay bought dozens of bottles of scent that investigators believe were to make the bombs more flammable.

They included Jean Paul Gaultier, Fahrenheit, Emporio Armani and Boss brands -- all symbols of what Islamist extremists consider the height of Western decadence.

"The effect would be more incendiary, like napalm, rather than highly explosive. It would create more fire and therefore more burn injuries."
Gee, Mamoud, your corpse smells terrific.

#7  WHat kind of perfume did he buy? If it was Chanel, then $2,000 doesn't get you very much. But if it was Hai Karate, you'd need a tanker truck to haul all of it out of there.

#4  AQ modus operandi: thoroughly wash up, put on impeccable neat/clean clothes (expensive), drench w/perfume, unique special prayers, allah akbar, kaboom.

It escapes logic, nontheless Kurds have captured several Euro AQs by monitoring mosques in N. Iraq for these very signs.

#1  Isn't the flamable stuff in perfume simply alcohol? Ah, I see, good muslims can't use alcohol in a bomb.
