Qaeda leader suicide bombs himself and family in Iraq
2012-04-19
An al-Qaeda leader has suicide bombed himself, his wife and two children following a skirmish with the Iraqi troops, an Iraqi official said.
Did he also kill his cell phone and laptop? If he didn't, his death won't prove as harmful as he hoped...
Ahmad al-Zarkoushi, the administrative director of al-Saadiya district, said two explosive belts were blown up simultaneously as the troops were about to storm the Qaeda leader's house.

"He killed himself, his wife and two children, aged 5 and 15," Zarkhoushi said.
Thus wiping out his bloodline. Darwin wins again.
The explosion took place as the troops were ordered to enter the house and seize the unidentified leader alive.

"The Iraqi branch of al-Qaeda has been pursuing new tactics which call on operatives to commit suicide before being taken prisoner.

"The tactic has been adopted to escape jail in Iraq and interrogation that might divulge the terror group's secrets," Zarkhoushi said.

Certain parts of the Province of Diyala, of which Baaquba is the capital, are still believed to be among the few remaining strongholds of Qaeda in the country.

Diyala was for several years after the 2003-U.S. invasion Qaeda's major base in Iraq.

#2  Shhhhh, Chomoque Poodle9080. Nobody is gargling with buckshot -- this, too, shall pass. In the meantime, lie back on the fainting couch and have a nice cup of soothing chamomile tea, while I cool your fevered brow with a handkerchief soaked in toilet water. You'll feel calmer in a jiffy, I promise.

#1  As heard on John Bachelor show Al Qaeda's funding comes from the golden chain from rich people in the UAE, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Last time I checked we support all of those countries with our military and are fighting Al Qaeda in Yemen. Those pukes know what people are supporting them yet they do nothing to stop it cuz they are bitches! At some point will end up in a harem being butt raped by their slave masters on top of camels hopefully! Now with all of the oil drilling not being allowed in the United States or pipelines being built and us being made more dependent on the people supporting Al Qaeda who our military Leaders and Washington protect what does that make those who give orders to their men only to get them killed and aid in it by giving support to the enemy? I am sure it is all old news to most on who funds them and why so good luck shoot straight do your homework and trust your guts and make sure the person standing next to you is not a ghoul or someone with to many stars on their shoulders either way your screwed! It is pathetic! Hopefully some people in the United States will just gargle with buckshot or a round from their service piece!
