Iraq

Baquba Awakening Council leader killed by suicide squeegeeman

2008-01-03

Some detail for yesterday's story

Initial reports of a suicide bombing in Baquba on Tuesday indicated the assailant was a woman, but it has now been confirmed the suicide bomber was in fact a male terrorist, the US military said in a statement on Wednesday. The identity of the bomber is not yet known, the statement added.

"Anybody recognize this doinker?"
"Ummm... It don't ring any bells."
"New one on me..."
"Looks like it might be Libyan?"

When women have hairy chests and the men dress as women its sometimes hard to identify bombers. In this case the bombers swance was found in a discarded can of Vienna sausage. It stood out because it was so much smaller than the sausages!
The statement also said the suicide bomber reportedly blew himself up after he jumped onto the hood of a car being driven by a Concerned Local Citizen (CLC).
An Iraqi version of a squeegeeman.
The explosion killed the driver of the car and three other Iraqis, while injuring six innocent civilians, the statement noted. The Iraqi story also indicated that among those who were killed was one of the US-sponsored Al-Sahwa (Awakening) council leaders in Baquba, Sheikh Abu Sajaad.

#11 to clarify, this was ONE of the "awakening" leaders in Baquba, not THE "awakening" leader in Baquba. That would have been very bad.

We've got to keep these guys safe (we collectively here, coalition forces, Iraqi forces, and concerned citizen forces themselves)

#9 My PC died, so I called tech support which turned out to be in Pakistan. After a bunch of fooling around that didn't accomplish anything, I said "I'm ready to kill myself". They got real excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

#5 We're looking for a few good shahids who enjoy dressing up in women's clothing. Must not show a 'bulge' in a size 8 burqa, be a self-starter and have poise and self-confidence in a crowd. Being able to sing soprano is a plus. Apply in person.

#4 The report on NPR yesterday said the miscreant drove around for a while looking for an opportunity, then parked the car, rushed into the crowd, and set himself off. Clearly Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

#3 The murder achieved nothing but to hand a pretext to those who would like to take a harder line.

#2 innocent civilians? Are there any other kind? But maybe the 'leader' deserved it?

#1 I'm surprised that they found that much of him.
