Jihadis Kidnapping Women/Children, Forcing Husbands/Fathers to Carry Our Suicide Bombings

Which is worse: The U.S. military recruitment problem or the al Qaeda recruitment problem?

Task Force Baghdad soldiers this morning rescued a man apparently blackmailed into a suicide-bombing mission by terrorist master Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

"This is another case where Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has to blackmail Innocent Iraqis to carry out his indiscriminate slaughtering," said Army Col. Joe DiSalvo, commander of 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division. "He can't recruit volunteers. (So) he is resorting to forcing Iraqi civilians to carry out these mission by threatening harm to kidnapped family members." (Photo credits : Yahoo News)

The man exploded his red Kia sedan roughly 15 feet from a barrier to a coalition base in east Baghdad, Iraq. The car bomb failed to detonate properly and the vehicle caught on fire. Soldiers manning the gate reacted quickly and saved the driver, coalition officials said in a release.

An initial investigation revealed that terrorists had kidnapped the driver's family and that he was forced to carry out this suicide-bombing mission to protect his wife and children, coalition officials said.

No soldiers were injured in the attack. The driver is being treated at a military hospital and is cooperating with authorities.

"This is another case where Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has to blackmail Innocent Iraqis to carry out his indiscriminate slaughtering," said Army Col. Joe DiSalvo, commander of 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division. "He can't recruit volunteers. (So) he is resorting to forcing Iraqi civilians to carry out these mission by threatening harm to kidnapped family members."

So, let me get this straight. Zarqawi is now capturing women and children, and then telling the fathers that if they don't blow themselves and a few infidels up then he's going to chop their heads off? Interesting recruiting tactic. Michael Moore's Minutemen indeed

Terrorists have used this method for a long time. You can find examples of it as far back as recorded history spans. It is one of the weaknesses of their MO, hard to get people to commit suicide in America. Have to import that kind of operator, though we will begin to see more of it in western hemisphere. Another example of evolution, progressing from one form to another, though I quess you would have to call that directed evolution. Wrap your head around that concept.
