Security personnel inspect the site of a bomb attack in Iraq. — Reuters (File Photo)Let's just recount what al Qaeda in Iraq has implemented in suicide bombings over the years...they have used young men as suicide bombers, then they switched to men wearing burqas, then they went to women as suicide bombers, then they moved to children wearing suicide vests and then to mentally handicapped children to do their dirty work. Well now, al Qaeda in Iraq has used a suicide bomber in a wheelchair to attack a police station in Iraq.
From the article at DAWN:
A suicide bomber in a wheelchair attacked a police station north of Baghdad on Sunday, killing two people and wounding 17, nine of them policemen, officials said.
“A suicide bomber detonated his explosives vest at the entrance to a police station, killing two civilians and wounding 17 people, including nine policemen in Tarmiyah,” a town north of Baghdad, an interior ministry official said. A defence ministry official confirmed the report.
“The suicide bomber came up to the entrance in a wheelchair,” said Colonel Tawfiq Ahmed al-Jenabi, chief of the town’s police, who added he did not know if the attacker was genuinely handicapped.
The point of all of this is that the leadership and mid level commanders of al Qaeda in Iraq are sure quick to use all others for their suicide bombing missions ....while they themselves sit back and watch from afar. You know, suicide bombing is for the people, not al Qaeda in Iraq. These are the spineless cowards of al Qaeda - those that run from U.S. troops, those that plant bombs in the ground to kill and those that prey upon the weak to do their bidding.
Suicide bomber in wheelchair kills two in Iraq
BAGHDAD: A suicide bomber in a wheelchair attacked a police station north of Baghdad on Sunday, killing two people and wounding 17, nine of them policemen, officials said.
“A suicide bomber detonated his explosives vest at the entrance to a police station, killing two civilians and wounding 17 people, including nine policemen in Tarmiyah,” a town north of Baghdad, an interior ministry official said. A defence ministry official confirmed the report.
“The suicide bomber came up to the entrance in a wheelchair,” said Colonel Tawfiq Ahmed al-Jenabi, chief of the town’s police, who added he did not know if the attacker was genuinely handicapped.
Meanwhile, two people were wounded by an improvised bomb that exploded next to a convoy transporting Mohammed Ahmed al-Obaidi, mayor of the town of Al-Riyadh in the restive northern province of Kirkuk.
Obaidi, who escaped unhurt and spoke to AFP after the attack, lost a foot in a similar bombing in June last year.
Twenty-four people were killed on Thursday in three separate attacks in Baghdad, including 21 in a triple bombing at a crowded market, and an American contractor working for USAID whose convoy was hit by an improvised bomb.
