Iranian suicide squads ready to hit US, British targets
2006-04-16
LONDON - Iran has formed battalions of suicide bombers to hit American and British targets if its nuclear installations are attacked, The Sunday Times newspaper said. According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers were ready to strike, the British weekly broadsheet said.

The Special Unit of Martyr Seekers in the Revolutionary Guards was first spotted in March when members marched in a military parade. The force wore explosive packs around their waists and held detonators, the newspaper said.
I wish Halliburton would hurry up with the long-range detonator ray.
Doctor Hassan Abbasi, head of the Centre for Doctrinal Strategic Studies in the Revolutionary Guards, said that 29 Western targets had been identified. “We are ready to attack American and British sensitive points if they attack Irans nuclear facilities,” he said in a speech, according to The Sunday Times. He said that some of them were “quite close” to the Iranian border in Iraq.

In a tape recording heard by the respected weekly, Abbasi told the would-be martyrs to “pay close attention to wily England” and vowed that “Britains demise is on our agenda”.

The Sunday Times said that at a recruiting station for the force in Tehran recently, volunteers had to state whether they would prefer to attack American targets in Iraq or Israeli targets.
"Paper or plastic?"
"Huh? I want to destroy the Zionist infidels."
"Okay, plastic it is. For your remains. Next!"
