| 40,000 Suicide Bombers Ready to Strike if Iran Attacked Over Nukes |
| 2006-04-16 |
| Iran has formed battalions of suicide bombers to strike at British and American targets if the nation’s nuclear sites are attacked. According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers are ready for action. The main force, named the Special Unit of Martyr Seekers in the Revolutionary Guards, was first seen last month when members marched in a military parade, dressed in olive-green uniforms with explosive packs around their waists and detonators held high. Dr. Hassan Abbasi, head of the Centre for Doctrinal Strategic Studies in the Revolutionary Guards, said in a speech that 29 Western targets had been identified: “We are ready to attack American and British sensitive points if they attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.” He added that some of them were “quite close” to the Iranian border in Iraq. In a tape recording heard by The Sunday Times, Abbasi warned the would-be martyrs to “pay close attention to wily England” and vowed that “Britain’s demise is on our agenda.” At a recruiting station in Tehran recently, volunteers for the force had to show their birth certificates, give proof of their address and tick a box stating whether they would prefer to attack American targets in Iraq or Israeli targets. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned last Friday that Israel was heading toward “annihilation.” He was speaking at a Tehran conference on Palestinian rights aimed at promoting Iran as a new Middle Eastern superpower. According to western intelligence documents leaked to The Sunday Times, the Revolutionary Guards are in charge of a secret nuclear weapons program designed to evade the scrutiny of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Alireza Jafarzadeh, a former spokesman for National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an opposition group, said a secret, parallel military program was under way. According to sources inside Iran, the Revolutionary Guards were constructing underground sites that could be activated if Iran’s known nuclear facilities were destroyed. The NCRI is the political wing of the Mujaheddin-e-Khalq, which is deemed a terrorist organization in Britain and America. However, much of its information is considered to be “absolutely credible” by western intelligence sources after Jafarzadeh revealed the existence of the Natanz plant in 2002. Within the past year, 14 large and several smaller projects have been created, according to Jafarzadeh. Several are designed to be nuclear factories; others are for the storage of weapons, he claimed. N.B.: Iran shows intent to attack southern Iraq when it rails against the British. When Blair loudly announced that Britain would not be involved in fighting with Iran, it puts a crimp in their plans. I would expect them to start proclaiming all sorts of perceived British injustices soon. |

| #20 According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers are ready for action. Sounds real good to me, be sure to attack en-masse so one good Marine Sniper (But I repeat Myself) can get the whole 40 K with one shot. |

| #18 The NPE and USDOD must be ready for any attempt at Terror-disguised-as-Decapitation Strike(s) against Dubya and the GOP, as its about the only guaranteed way the RINO CINO agenda-less Dems can be POTUS, and espec to be so whether or not Dubya chooses to attack Iran = North Korea [Taiwan?] or not. The WOT is about CONTROL OF THE WORLD IN GENERAL,; and where the Failed/Angry Left is concerned is about inducing = forcing democratic America under anti-sovereign, anti-American American National and Global Socialism and Socialist World Order, by any means necessary, legal andor illegal. IFF NOT, RUSSIA-CHINA > NUCLEAR WAR AGAINT AMERICA, AND ONLY AMERICA, IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE/REALISTIC BUT DESIRED, CIRCA 2015-2018, when the economies of both nations will hopefully be modernized enough and strong enough to CHALLENGE A DESTABILIZED WEAKENED AMERICA. Both Russia and China adhere to the "War/Battle/Local Zone" strategem of NUCLEARIZED active defense, includ forms of "People's War, but which emphasizes POLITICAL-DIPLOMATIC VICTORY OVER MILITARY OR ARMED FORCE. THe WOT then, for the Left, can be ascribed amongst other labels as WAR FOR/BETWEEN DEGREE(S) = FORMS OF SOCIALISM - since Britain is alreday a Western deomcratic Socialist nation, ANY MASSED TERROR ATTACKS AGAINST HER WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF INDUCING COMMUNIST- AND TOTALITARIAN-STYLE ABSOLUTIST SOCIALIST METHODS, like America in the name of Safety, Security, Accountability/ Responsibility, and Protection, .....@etal feel-good populist labels. Its not SOcialism or Communism or Marxism or Totalitarianism, etc. but alleged PC, fell-good, Communists-for-Fascism-for-Communism, Leftist-for-Rightism-for-Leftism "ANTI-FASCISM". The nationalist, internationalist, and globalist agendas for Secular Leftist-Socialists, and God/Faith based Socialists =THeocrats, aka God/Faith-based Lefties, are essens the same. |

| #17 OK, maybe I am splitting hairs, but how can they be "trained suicide bombers" and still be ready for action vs. being pink clouds? Is that like training for infantry with broomsticks or something? I'm really quite amazed they think this is a real threat. I guess it beats pitch forks and torches, but 40,000 guys charging with back packs just seems like pure idiocy. What is their plan, to secretly smuggle them in by the busload and drop them off at shopping centers without anyone noticing? Jeesh ... you just can't fix stupid, err, islam, um, I repeat myself ... |

| #14 Ten years ago I would have said they can't find 40,000 people that stupid who are smart enough to pull it off. Today I'll just say that it's a long walk to the border from Tehran, especially when you have to detour around those high-radiation zones. |

| #8 I remember reading in the initial invasion 1000+ sucide bombers attacked near al Kut in a sandstorm. There were sucide cycles, tanks, people, dogs, donkeys everything... all died without reaching the troops. |

| #7 plus one or two will ineveitably boom accidently and if they're in tight formation it'll be the Iranian version of Chinese firecracker strings |

| #6 40,000 is almost easier to handle than a couple of hundred. Easier to find, easier to track, and big missles work well when they group together. It's those last few hundred that are always a nuisance. |
