Islam Online: Martyrdom Operations in Iraq
2003-07-10
We’re doomed! Islam Online sez so!
The Iraqi national resistance carried out the first martyrdom operation that targeted U.S. troops stationed in Baghdad airport, Iraqi sources told IslamOnlin.net. A statement obtained by IOL’s office in the Iraqi capital said that a man called Abu Abdullah, a truck driver, carried out the operation few days ago, leaving between 10 to 15 U.S. soldiers killed and dozens others wounded. The statement further said that three armored vehicles and one tank at least were destroyed during the operation.
Humm, CENTCOM must be covering up, hadn’t heard of that one.
Eyewitnesses told IOL that U.S. troops were demolishing parts of Baghdad airport to build up a prison for Iraqi detainees, adding that they rented a number of trucks to lift the debris. "Abu Abdullah was a driver of one of these trucks
He loaded the truck with explosives and blow it up inside the airport field, causing deafening sound heard by the inhabitants of the area and sending plumes of black smokes skyward," they added. U.S. troops rent these trucks and hire laborers without checking the identities of the drivers or workers, which provides an easy access to under-construction sites.
Sure, we don’t check IDs. We’re stupid that way.
U.S. troops also are moving around in streets without adequate protection, which made some Iraqi scholars issue a fatwa ruling that "it is not permissible to carry out martyrdom operations for the time being in Iraq because the enemy is an easy target and it is difficult to spare the blood of innocent Iraqis."
"And we’re real concerned about innocent Iraqis."
A spokesman for the U.S.-led occupation forces in Iraq, however, declined to comment, but admitted a number of anti-U.S. attacks had been carried out in the airport area and its surrounding suburbs, blaming, in the mean time, remnants of the deposed Baath party and loyalists to ousted Iraqi president Saddam Hussein for such attacks. The message also asserted that there was in no way any link between the resistance operations and the latest audio tapes of Saddam, which were broadcast on Arab satellite channels. It further dismissed the alleged audio tapes as an attempt to "steal the limelight from the resistance and cast a fake glory on a totalitarian regime that was the cause of the appalling conditions and great suffering of the Iraqi people, not to mention the U.S. occupation."
"Nope, Sammy’s boys ain’t got nuthing to do with it."
A tape attributed to the toppled Iraqi president was broadcast Tuesday, July 8, by Aljazeera, calling on the Iraqis to unite and throw out the occupying U.S.-led forces from their country. It was the second broadcast message in four days to be attributed to Saddam. The earlier one, put out Friday, July 4, by Aljazeera and was deemed to be probably authentic by experts of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Residents from the airport area told IOL that the explosions and resistance operations against the U.S. troops in the area always coincided with the second Takbira (Allah is Greatest) of the dawn Adhan (call to prayer).
That’s nice to know, we’ll plan accordingly.
A message e-mailed to IOL last month, attributed to the Iraqi resistance, said its fighters had recently launched 14 al-Samoud 2 missiles at the a camp of the U.S. occupation soldiers in the airport area, destroying 23 helicopters, killing more than 20 soldiers and officers and injuring 30 others.
Damm, another cover-up! Does CNN know about this?

#1   Lies! Lies, I tell you. What really happened was that Abu Abu Mohammad Mohammad Abu Mohammad did in fact blow up his truck packed with explosives (kissed themselves by the lips of Allah). But first too lure the stupid American pig occupiers he yelled out "Look! It is that the famous American Tammy Faye Baker! She is naked and waiting for you to ravish her!" The Americans gathered into a group of 10,000 million. Abu Abu Mohammad Mohammad Abu Mohammad then cleverly detonated his explosives blowing himself high up to heaven only to land safely in the laps of 72,000 jillion virgins. Allah praise him.
Meanwhile, the infidels and their trucks were thrown up into space (by Allah's hand) where their pig bodies destroyed 3, no 15 American satellites. On the way back down they also destroyed 50 Stealth bombers, 675 tanks, 4 navy destroyers and we have good information that George Bush died as well! The Americans will try to lie to you but it is true. They will now show old footage of pig dog Bush and add an imposters voice. These lying pig dogs will stoop that low.
Oh yeah, the Jews ....well, they didn't do anything but kill them anyways because we are like so many lemmings running off a cliff into Allah's arms and must kill Jews.
