Qaeda announces new suicide brigade
2005-06-03
A new online posting purportedly by the Al Qaeda group in Iraq has declared the creation of a new cell of suicide bombers called the "Al Bara Bin Malek Brigade", and claimed it has already carried out a number of unspecified attacks. It wasn't possible to verify the authenticity of the four-minute-audio tape by a man claiming to be Abu Doujana al-Ansari, the purported head of the group.

#10  Fred, since you posted this a midnight (when most of us are getting in our 3rd hour of sleep - not our 3rd birdbath martini)you should have pasted the "put your coffee down" warning on the headline.

#7  phil_b, couldn't agree more about the puppy frisk pic. This story should realy make our military recruiters realize things could be worse. How would you like to see the recruit requriements (say three times quickly) for the Al Bara Bin Malek Brigade.

#6  Ironic pictures accompanying articles is a Rantburg thing. Watch out for the dog with its paws up against the wall, its my all time favourite (although the fat lady comes a close second). I must have seen it 50 times and it still raises a smile.

#5  Tarcy, thank you for the work you do, which has kept you too busy to visit Rantburg until now. Fred has a vast collection of illustrations which he attaches to some of the posted articles as a shortcut to indicate his opinion. The news provides a great many people, groups and actions that he does not think highly of at all. However, often the illustrations do not connect to the articles in a direct, or factually informative way.

Welcome to the community!
