Running out of men
By lex, on May 15th, 2008
Al Qaeda proves once again that there is no future in their noxious ideology:
A youthful suicide bomber killed at least 23 people Wednesday in an attack against relatives of Col. Faisal Ismail al-Zobaie, a U.S.-backed police chief and former insurgent who has turned against his onetime comrades.
Zobaie, the police chief of Fallujah in Anbar province, said a bomber of about 12 years of age attacked the funeral of Zobaie’s uncle. He said insurgents had seized his uncle, a school principal, on Tuesday, demanding to know whether the police chief was his nephew.
Abu al-Laith al-Jubori, a leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, asserted responsibility for the attack at the funeral. He said in a telephone interview that the group was “proud that we carried out this operation by one of our youngest soldiers…”
First the mentally ill, then teenage women and now pre-teen boys. Apparently the “lions of the desert” have run out of bewildered Syrians and restless Saudis.
It’s hard to plumb the depths of such depravity.
