Boom Bitch Lost Will to Die
A Chechen suicide bomber who was arrested after failing to detonate an explosive in a Moscow cafe last summer said in an interview published Tuesday that she had lost her will to die and purposely tried to attract attention to herself. Zarema Muzhakhoyeva, 23, was detained in July after her strange behavior attracted the attention of security guards at Mon Cafe, a restaurant just off a main avenue leading to the Kremlin. A bomb disposal expert was killed trying to defuse the explosive that she had carried in a bag and left on the sidewalk.
He’s still dead, too, last I heard.
Muzhakhoyeva faces charges of terrorism, conspiracy to murder two or more people, and illegal possession and transfer of weapons. If convicted, she could spend 25 years in prison. Muzhakhoyeva told Izvestia that she hopes for acquittal under a law lifting criminal responsibility from people who warn of a terrorist act or its preparation. She described doing her best to attract attention to herself without provoking punishment from the controllers she was sure were following her - and who, she was convinced, could detonate her bomb by remote control. "Briefly, I decided to surrender with the bomb and hide from everyone in prison - even though they could get me in prison, too," Muzhakhoyeva was quoted as saying.
I bet they will, five years or 25.
The Federal Security Service maintains that many of the female bombers are drugged or otherwise forced into their work. But Chechens and human rights advocates argue that the bombers are women whose husbands, fathers and children have been killed and feel they have nothing more to lose.
What the hell kind of "human rights advocates" are they?
Muzhakhoyeva saw herself in that light. Widowed after her much older husband was shot in a business dispute, Muzhakhoyeva told Izvestia that she turned to terrorism as a way out of shame. She had stolen jewelry from her grandparents and sold it in hopes of being able to start a new life with her young daughter, whom her husband’s family had placed with another relative, but the family prevented her from taking the child and then froze her out.
Life sucks for everyone in Chechyna. My thanks to Mom and Dad for being Americans.
Muzhakhoyeva said she then turned to terrorism, having heard that suicide bombers’ families were rewarded $1,000.
"It sez here you're recruiting suicide boomers!"
"Yeah. You wanna sign up?"
"I dunno. What's it pay?"
She spent time in rebel training camps in the mountains of southern Chechnya, and then was assigned to blow up a bus in Mozdok, the Russian military headquarters in the Caucasus region. When the targeted bus turned up, however, she could not bring herself to connect the wires of the bomb she carried. "At that moment I realized that I could not blow myself up," she recalled.
But she kept going.
In spite of her failure, Muzhakhoyeva’s handlers sent her to Moscow. On the day the cafe attack was planned, the two men drove her to the square in front of St. Basil’s Cathedral, at the end of Red Square, and instructed her to flag down a car to get to the cafe. She stared at the driver in the rearview mirror and muttered verses from the Quran, hoping he would turn her in to the police. But he dropped her off at her destination and sped away.
"GAZ don’t fail me now!"
Muzhakhoyeva walked up to the plate glass front of the cafe and stuck out her tongue at men inside, then smirked. A trio of men came out, asked for her passport and asked what was in her bag. "An explosive," she said. Within minutes, she was in police custody.
What a waste. Enjoy prison until your handlers find you.
