First it was Women and Children, Now it’s Women with Child-like Minds
In desperation, al Qaeda has shifted tactics by strapping bombs on mentally deranged women and sending them into markets–only to use remote detonators to blow up their couriers and all those around them.
Where is the outrage? For those who don’t think the MSM is biased, just do a Google News search on this story (which will yield 533 stories) versus Abu Grhaib (an worn-out, old story that still generated 756 “news” stories today) or Guantanamo Bay (which yielded 4,843 “news” stories today.)
From The Long War Journal:
Al Qaeda in Iraq has pulled off two mass-casualty terror bombings in markets in Baghdad. The attacks, which were carried out by mentally impaired women, claimed the lives of at least 73 Iraqi civilians and wounded more than 167. This is not the first time al Qaeda has used mentally and physically handicapped women and children in bombings, as has been reported.
The first attack occurred at the popular Ghazl pet market, where thousands of Baghdadis flock to on Fridays. The bombing killed 46 civilians and wounded more than 100, The Associated Press reported. The second attack occurred just 20 minutes later in a Shia market in southeastern Baghdad. Police reported 27 Iraqi civilians were killed and 67 wounded.
The attacks in Baghdad were not suicide bombings as both women used by al Qaeda were mentally disabled and the vests were detonated remotely, according to General Qasim Atta. “Atta said the women were strapped with dynamite and ball bearings, citing members of the bomb squad,” CNN reported. “The explosives were detonated via cell phone.” The women were believed to have had Down’s Syndrome.
