More on the Downs Syndrome Suicide Bomber

Matt links to Iraq the Model where Omar speaks to how depraved the Islamofascists are:

The suicide attack that was performed on an election center in one of Baghdad's districts (Baghdad Al-Jadeedah) last Sunday was performed using a kidnapped "Down Syndrome" patient.

Eye witnesses said (and I'm quoting one of my colleagues; a dentist who lives there) "the poor victim was so scared when ordered to walk to the searching point and began to walk back to the terrorists. In response the criminals pressed the button and blew up the poor victim almost half way between their position and the voting center's entrance".

I couldn't believe the news until I met another guy from that neighborhood who knows the family of the victim. The guy was reported missing 5 days prior to elections' day and the family were distributing posters that specified his descriptions and asking anyone who finds him to contact them.

When a relative of mine (who has a mental handicap due to an Rh conflict at birth) told me a month ago that a group of men in a car tried to kidnap him as he was standing in front of the institution he periodically visits to get medicine and support waiting for his brother; I thought that he was imagining the whole story.
He said that they tried to force him into the car telling him not to be afraid and that they're from the "mujahideen and not going to hurt him". My relative, despite his handicap was moved by his survival instinct and managed to run away.
After I heard the other story, I began to connect between the two stories and to consider my cousin's story as a true one that uncovered a new miserable war technique that can come only from the sickest minds.

Sickest of the sick who must be defeated by any means possible.

I read where of the nine bombers, one was the child, only one was Iraqi and the other seven were Saudi's! So now the only way for the 'insurgents' to recruit in Iraq is to kidnap deformed children? Sounds pretty desperate to me.

Indeed... and I am perplexed at how the world will not unite against this kind of evil...

Incredible...

The only possible bright side I can see to this story is that, perhaps, the insurgents have run out of people to join their cause and must now turn to such tactics. Hopefully, this is a sign that their efforts will fail soon. I also was heartened, in a sad way, to read about the villagers who killed several insurgents for trying to keep them from voting.
