Vicious: Iraqi Terrorists Kidnap, Then Release, Victims In Cars Secretly Filled With Bombs To Be Dentonated By Radio Control
The brave warriors of Islam seem a little less brave these days. While they used to demonstrate their courage by taking on schoolgirls on buses, now they're remaining out of harm's way entirely.
- Insurgents are now using unwitting kidnap victims as suicide bombers β seizing them, booby-trapping their cars without their knowledge, then releasing them only to blow up the vehicles by remote control, the Defense Ministry warned Thursday.

The Iraqi announcement β the latest development in the deadly war waged by the insurgency β came as widespread lawlessness swept the capital Thursday with kidnappings, deadly attacks on police, the discovery of more mutilated death squad victims and a brazen daylight bank heist by men dressed as Iraqi soldiers.
It was unclear from the Defense Ministry's statement whether the insurgents are using kidnap victims because they are having trouble finding recruits for suicide missions. Suicide car bombs are responsible for 7 percent of the total Iraqi deaths this year β down considerably from 25 percent of the overall deaths in the last eight months of 2005, according to an Associated Press count.
Car bombing deaths down? Yet another Grim Milestone for the Chamberlain/Quisling Left.
This sounds like an outstanding tactic for us to implement ourselves. Let some of these guys "escape" and find a conveniently placed car loaded with surveillance electronics... and, of course, typhoid.
