BAGHDAD -- Task Force Baghdad Soldiers stopped a terrorist Oct. 29 as he tried to emplace an improvised explosive device in an Abu Ghraib neighborhood.
Leader: "Abdul, It's a simple job. Ride your bike, and drop these bags by the side of the road over there, and there. Piece of cake. The sheep won't even know you've gone! Back in five...ten at the most. I'll have tea and hash waiting for you!"
Abdul: "Hokay. allan ahkbar."


This individual is suspected to have emplaced and detonated other IEDs against Iraqi Army units in eastern Abu Ghraib.
"Hey Sarge. What's that guy doing dropping that bag off with the wires on it? I've got him scoped?

The terrorist was observed by Soldiers from the 1st Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment as he rode up on a bicycle and emplaced what looked like a bag having suspicious wires coming out of it.
Abdul is vying for allan's Darwin Award for the month of October.

The Soldiers, determining the suspicious bag was an IED, shot and killed the individual.
Ooopsey. The sheep will be lonely tonight.

The IED exploded moments after the terrorist was shot, but no damage or injuries were reported.
Hmmm. I wonder if Leader had a remote control? Nah. Al Qaida leadership wouldn't do that to a foot soldier.

After sweeping the area, the Soldiers found another IED on the terrorist’s bicycle. An explosives disposal team later destroyed the bomb through a controlled detonation.
sweet dreams, sucker. You've been punked by the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment!

#3  Morons, you must wait in the Peloton for the feeding area, then throw your souvenir IED on the side of the road.
