| 2 Iraqis Sent on Suicide Mission Surrender |
| 2003-04-01 |
| Two Iraqi soldiers who said they were sent on a suicide attack mission to the country's largest port have turned themselves in to British troops, the British commander said Tuesday. "We had two suicide bombers turn themselves in yesterday because they didn't want to be suicide bombers any more," Col. Steve Cox, commander of the Royal Marine Commandos running Umm Qasr, told reporters. "We are accommodating them." You gotta love those Brits. The pair had no explosives in their possession when they surrendered, Cox said, adding that they were turned over to British military intelligence for interrogation and would be treated as enemy prisoners of war. He did not give any details about the alleged plans for a suicide attack. Suicide bombers with no bombs and who want to live. |

| #2 Sounds like these guys are on the right-hand side of the bell curve. A mullah just can't trust those guys with the 3-digit IQs... |

| #1 "...they didn't want to be suicide bombers any more," Guess the retirement package wasn't up to snuff. Hope Sammy's men aren't holding relatives of these guys for insurance purposes, though, or publicising their unprofessionalism isn't going to help deter future bombers. |
