Holiday Festival: Al Qaeda Places Bomb In Cart Full Of Toys, Leaves At Playground
In northern Iraq, Al Qaeda terrorists planted a bomb among toys in a cart and then brought it to a children’s playground in the religiously mixed city of Tuz Khormato north of Baghdad, killing four civilians and wounding 17, mostly children, police Col. Abbas Mohammed said.
Earlier on Friday, a police source said one civilian was killed and 16 others, mostly women and children, were wounded when an explosive charge went off in an outdoor market north of Tikrit.
“The device was inside a bag of flour left in the market,” the source told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
The wounded were rushed to a hospital in Touz Khormato for treatment, the source added.
The majority of the victims were Kurdish children who had been expected out on the streets to celebrate the first day of Eidul-Fitr.
UPDATE: Friday’s earlier explosive bomb attack in a district of Touz Khormato playgorund, north of Tikrit, rose to five deaths and 20 injuries, mostly children, on the first day of Eidul-Fitr in the central and northern provinces in Iraq, an official security source said on Friday.
“The charge went off near a group of children jubilating and gathering to play the Eid games in the district,” the source, who declined to have his name mentioned, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

Another fine day for the religion of peace…
October 12th, 2007 at 6:26 amUn-fucking-believable!!! Can’t wait for the AQ spin on how the Qur’ān allows for killing of children for Islam. I would love to get my hands on these cowards baby-killers.
October 12th, 2007 at 6:27 amAnd anyone is surprised. Cowardly fucking assholes. And the libs want to leave these people to fight against assholes that would do something like this on a daily basis if our MILITARY HEROES were not there.
October 12th, 2007 at 6:52 ambareback hussian obama wants to talk with these savages
maybe him and carter can have a summit and tell them it is the United States fault
we are a major crossroads for the future of human civilization
you better choose a side soon
October 12th, 2007 at 7:18 amNever forget that our “humanist” Lefitst friends would have had us leave this place to Al Qaeda a long time ago. And why? So they could secure political power in DC.
The torch of compassion has indeed passed to the right. Leftists are the emodiment of what ultimately constitutes evil: pathological self-centeredness.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:34 amWe shouldn’t be suprised that AQ has stooped to this level. We recently discovered these scumbags wiring a girls school with IED’s during the construction phase.

Don’t expect to hear Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric tell you a thing about any of these atrocities. They’re busy vamping up Al Bore as a Nobel Peace Prize Winner. In my book the real winners of the prize should be the dedicated men of the USMC. Semper Fi Gentlemen.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:34 amThe democraps don’t want to negotiate with these thugs - THEY HAVE SIDED WITH THEM!!! Every time they open their mouths they are bitchin’ about our troops but never say anything bad about these “innocent” bastards. I am sick to my stomach that people in this country want the Hill & Bill show back in the white house so they can sic their attorneys on the bad guys in AQ. What a solution #$%&^%! This granny does not want to take hostages and prisoners - Just Nuke EM!!!
October 12th, 2007 at 7:38 amAn excerpt relating to the killing of innocents(tattarrus) by the scions of the lesser god:
“Sheikh Mohammad Sayyed Tantawi, dean of Cairo’s al-Azhar University, insists that Islamic law “rejects all attempts on human life and all attacks on civilians.”
Comment: Except in Israel, eh, Tantawi?
“[Sheikh Tantawi] emphasized that every martyrdom operation against any Israeli, including children, women, and teenagers, is a legitimate act according to [Islamic] religious law, and an Islamic commandment, until the people of Palestine regain their land and cause the cruel Israeli aggression to retreat…”
Comment: Nothing like a little hypocracy to shoot down one’s own arguments eh?
“Nothing in Islam justifies the deliberate killing of non-combatants,” Tantawi says. “Tattarrus applies to collateral damage in a war between two regular armies, and not to action perpetrated by self-styled combatants.”
Najih al-Ibrahim, another Egyptian theologian, also castigates what he terms “the abuse of tattarrus.”
“No one can use tattarrus to justify the shedding of innocent blood,” he says. “The only time that tattarrus is allowed is when Muslim combatants have to kill a fellow Muslim who is captured by the infidel and may, under torture, reveal secrets that could help the infidel against the true believers. Apart from that, shedding Muslim blood is the gravest of sins in Islam.”
Yet another Egyptian theologian, Hisham Abdul-Zahir, says the insurgents’ killing of Iraqi civilians is “totally unjustifiable under any circumstances.”
“Tattarrus is relevant only in the case of Muslim women and children who are captured in a war by the infidel,” he says. “In such a situation, it would be permissible to kill them to prevent them from being converted into other faiths by the infidel or abused by infidel soldiers.”
Jassim al-Shamri, a Saudi theologian, rejects the authority of the “self-styled ulema” to reinterpret Islamic concepts for political goals.
“These gentlemen sit in air-conditioned rooms and drink iced mango juice and issue fatwas for indiscriminate killing,” al-Shamri says. “We never see any of them or their children sent on suicide missions.”
Sheikh Abdul-Muhsin al-Ubaikan, a Saudi theologian, has proposed “a theological summit” to discuss tattarrus and related issues.
“Is it enough for an individual to say he is fighting for Islam in order to claim a license to kill anyone, anywhere and anytime?” al-Ubaikan asks.
Comment: Well, if it isn’t, Ubaikan, then please explain why, so that those who believe this way will lay down their arms. Rhetorical questions won’t do the trick.
Class dismissed.
October 12th, 2007 at 8:15 amI didn’t think the terrorists could one up the decapitations. I was wrong again.
October 12th, 2007 at 8:23 amI wish there was something I could do to put a hurt on those scumbags.
October 12th, 2007 at 9:57 amFreakin scumbags! just look at that little girl in the picture..Kids that age are no different than kids anywhere else, still so innocent. Cant believe anyone still supports these monsters. I dont even see them as human beings anymore, just meat sticks with a target on their heads
October 12th, 2007 at 10:39 amThe dems need to look at that pic and realize that if terrorists can do that to kids, they can’t be “talked to” and they will sooner kill an American than blink an eye. Why isn’t Murtha yelling “cold blooded murderers” like he did before? Why wasn’t he yelling it when they shelled Camp Victory (I believe that’s the one) and hit a school?
October 12th, 2007 at 10:47 amRemember people, this is what Osama is on record as saying he wants to do to MILLIONS of OUR kids, here in this country. These are the stakes in this war - do we want to see our kids looking like this one day - or worse? Sadly, many of us already have lost our kids in military service - may God bless you all!! Meanwhile, may God severely judge those who do this, and those in this country who give comfort to this enemy, and put all of our kids in danger in the process!!
