#1 Hmmm . . . "Christ pose," huh-- Western interp of the guy, IMO. Sounds more like he was lying there expecting to be boomed straight to his 72-virgin harem. What will he tell the guys back home? Some fatalistic Allah bullshit, no doubt.

#2 Doing like he was trained to do for his AQ "martyrdom operation." No doubt now at least some of them were knowing suicide bombers.

#3 And no one kicked the shiite out of him?

Dang!

I can't imagine him walking away from a stunt like that in Brooklyn...

#5 Using his body as tamping for the explosive? Wouldn't be the first time. Wonder what was located directly under the spot he chose.

#6 I am baffled by the fact that this guy walked away from the scene within two weeks of the previous bombing. Other than in SF, just about any crowd in the US would have lynched him. Our citizens would have lynched him at a symphony. I suspect that he would have been lynched at most play groups.
