Al Qaeda uses 'Down's syndrome' women

Quote:
Al Qaeda use two 'Down's syndrome' women to blow up 73 people in Baghdad markets
Last updated at 22:19pm on 1st February 2008

Al Qaeda fanatics plumbed sickening new depths yesterday when they turned two women with Down's syndrome into human bombs to kill 70 people in Baghdad.

The unwitting pawns were apparently fooled into wearing explosive vests which were then detonated remotely by mobile phones as the women mingled with crowds.

The two blasts caused carnage at two busy markets in the Iraqi capital's deadliest atrocity since last spring.

A U.S. military spokesman conveyed the sense of outrage over the depravity of the masterminds.

"They have shown their true demonic character," said Lieutenant-Colonel Steve Stover.

Involving women in fighting violates religious taboos in Iraq, but extremists are recruiting females and youths to stage suicide attacks in a desperate attempt to beat tightened security measures.

Women can avoid thorough searches at checkpoints because of Islamic sensitivities, and four have carried out suicide bombings since November.

Yesterday's attacks are the first ever to have involved anyone with Down's Syndrome.

The first attack was in the central al-Ghazl market, where numerous birds and animals were on sale.

The weekly bazaar had been bombed several times but recently had re-emerged as a popular place to shop and stroll as Baghdad security improved and a Friday ban on driving was lifted.

The woman carrying the bomb, hidden under her traditional black Islamic robe, was a familiar figure at the market where she sold cream.

At least 46 people were killed and more than 100 wounded. Fire crews scooped up remains scattered among blood, clothing and pigeon carcasses.

About 20 minutes later, the second bomb blew up a bird market in a predominantly Shiite area in southeastern Baghdad, killing up to 22 people and wounding 65, according to police and hospital officials.

The women used in the attacks were unlikely to have been willing participants, said the chief Iraqi military spokesman in Baghdad, Brigadier-General Qassim al-Moussawi....

Because people with downs syndrome are reputedly the most loving, trusting, and helpful people in the world?

Thanks Reba for the link. I had heard on the news that two mentally disabled women was used in the bombing. I didn't know it was Down's Syndrome until just now. I know people with Down's Syndrome are sweet people - Remember Corky?

And I repeat what I have said before. A terrorist can not be brought to the negotiating table and reasond with. You can NOT trust a terrorist to do what they say they will do. And they do NOT care who is hurt as long as they further their cause. Diplomacy will NOT work with these people. We are at war with people who would kill you and think they were doing Gods will. You will NOT talk them out of that. Choose carefully who will lead this Nations Great Military!

Yes, can you imagine how God must feel? To see people use Him and His name to justify what they are doing. If I defend my family against a murderer and kill him I am not going to tell people God told me to do that. That was my choice. Yet through out history many groups of people have invoked Gods name to justify their own personal cruelty. It is sad. But we must continue to fight against that idea, because those who use this crazy thought process will not allow us to exist peacefully with them.

Oh my gosh! This is so disgust!!! Al-Qaeda are so EVIL!!!! I'm anti-terrorism! Do you remember Al Zaraswkai? He got killed by USA Air Force dropped 1,000 pound to bomb at Al Zaraswkai on June 7th, 2006. Everyone are so happy because he was an EVIL! He got on internet to make a video to kill the men's heads cut off in real video. My husband saved the file. It scared me to watch this. This is HORROR!!! How dare of him! He is in the hell now! Our troops are looking for Osama Bin Laden and more Al-Qaeda terrorist groups. We will be end the war if you believe. Our American Troops will never end the wars. Because Isreali people really need our help to war against Iran. Don't be doubt about God's plan for this countries. I am hope for God can rapture the country in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq's Al-Qaeda terrors group.

That's certainly true as my 40 year old cousin is Downs Syndrome and he is as gentle as a lamb.


That's really sickening to hear! Made my stomach churn.

You're right! Down's syndrome are sweet people. I used to play with little down's syndrome girl at childcare class long times ago. She like me. I haven't see her for a long times. I think she is 16 or 17 years old now. I can't believe about Al-Qaeda. It's so disgusted!

Here's the truth . . .

Quote:
Files for Suicide Bombers Show No Down Syndrome
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/wo...ld&oref=slogin

BAGHDAD — Psychiatric case files of two female suicide bombers who killed nearly 100 people in Baghdad this month show that they suffered from depression and schizophrenia but do not contain information indicating they had Down syndrome, American officials said Wednesday.

In the aftermath of the Feb. 1 bombings — the most devastating attacks in Baghdad since summer — Iraqi officials said that the women had Down syndrome, a genetic disorder. They based their opinion partly on the appearance of the remains of the women, whose heads, as often happens in suicide bombings, were severed by the blasts.
Anyone who uses violence is no less evil . . . interesting how "down's syndrome" gets the strongest reaction.

I am not simply surprised about this. They can use about ANYONE for the wars. Women, children, men who are fathers and husbands and so on they just dont care who they are using because they want to win at all costs.

Yep pretty pathetic, eh?

It seems very difficult to rid of Al-Qaeda, even looking for Bin Laden has been here for 7 years, one month right after 9/11/01.

I wish that Al-Qaeda would leave our country alone, same goes to UK too.
