Foreign Hands Might Be Behind Hakim’s Death: Analysts
2003-08-31
Yes! I got it first! Who’s behind the Ali bombing? the Mossad/Joooooos lol, of course, it is IslamOnline. EFL
By Aws al-Sharqi, IOL Correspondent
The remnants of the ousted Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, Al-Qaeda network and the Israeli intelligence service (Mossad) might be the prime suspects behind the assassination of leading Shiite scholar Ayatollah Mohammad Baqer al-Hakim in a deadly car bombing Friday, August 29, Iraqi analysts said on Sunday. "There is a common denominator between the assassination of Hakim, the bombings of U.N. Baghdad headquarters and the Jordanian capital, which is targeting a large number of innocent civilians," Dr. Anis al-Rawi, the dean of the faculty of science in Baghdad University told IslamOnlin.net.
common denominator? yeah, muslim nutcases
Rawi, who heads the association of Muslim youths, said that the magnitude and precision of these blasts asserted that they were copycat attacks. "I do think that the Mossad, which has gained a foothold in Iraq after the downfall of Baghdad, is the prime suspect in the spate of blasts," he added.
Of course, because ....um...well, just because
A car burst into flames Friday outside the Tomb of Ali Mosque compound, one of the most sacred shrines for Shiites, moments after Hakim delivered Friday’s sermon to thousands of faithful in the Shiite city of An-Najaf. Thus far 95 others were confirmed killed and more than 200 wounded in the blast. A spate of car bombings was kicked off with a blast at the Jordanian embassy three weeks ago and culminated in the bombing of U.N. Baghdad office and Friday’s deadly blast. Rawi did not rule out that the attacks had been carried out at the knowledge of the U.S. occupation authorities in Iraq "to ignite sectarian sedition and give the impression that a civil war is in the making... Spreading chaos and disorder serves best the interests of the occupation authorities and tightens their grip around Iraq."
Is that totally stupid or what? Chaos and disorder tighten our grip? No wonder the Muslims can’t run a democracy
I'm trying to figure how they can run convenience stores...

#3  No need for truncheons. It was probably sufficient to say "Talk, or we'll release you."

#2  Time to restrict vehicle traffic around obvious targets immediately to zero. Driving is a priviledge.
