Saudi fighters ’bound for Iraq’ | |
2003-04-05 | |
Where they 'are going to fight' and 'seek martyrdom', during which 'they will be killed'. Western intelligence sources say they have detected a small group of Saudi extremists trying to get into Iraq to attack coalition forces there. A small group? Where are the others? This is Saudi Arabia we're talking about! They say they believe the men are pretending to be aid workers and that they may be hoping to cross the border from Iran. Good old 'Islamic charity' in action. The conflict in Iraq is deeply unpopular in the Arab world and Baghdad has claimed that thousands of Arab suicide bombers are now in the country. Where they gain substantial assistance in their quest to boink the virgins. This week, four groups of Islamist fighters were reported to have left their hideouts in Afghanistan to join Iraqi forces fighting coalition troops. "We will fight while in a 'stan, We will fight in this here land. We will fight them in a cave, We will fight and not behave. We will fight while on the lam, We will fight for our Saddam." They, too, are thought to be trying to enter from Iran. All runs to Iraq run through Iran, eh? Wotta surprise. And in Italy, an investigation by counter-terrorism officials has concluded that the country is being used a staging-post for Muslim fighters heading for Iraq. Wonder if they're coming via Milan? So far, the number of Arab volunteers trying to link up with Saddam Hussein's forces is only a trickle and they are unlikely to alter the final outcome of this war. But, in the weeks ahead, they could well pose a serious security problem for coalition troops in Iraq. When they see what's happened they might decide to enroll for another semester at the madrassa.

#4 Methinks our Steve has been reading Dr. Seuss overmuch. It lends a charming bit to read instead of Blixies stupidities. *grin* |

#3 Mr White, you have become the resident poet! And Murat, our favourite resident Troll. I would like to be the resident Australian, though I am willing to share that with all sensible others whose names are not Boppa |
