Suicide Bombers Kill Awakening Leader
Anbar, Feb 23, (VOI) – A leader of the Falluja Sahwa (Awakening) tribal fighters was killed along with two of his aides in a double suicide bombing attack by two brothers, who targeted a checkpoint in the northern part of the city, police said.
“Two suicide bombers blew themselves up at a checkpoint of the Falluja Sahwa force in al-Sajar area, northern Falluja, killing Sheikh Ibrahim al-Mutairi and two of his aides,” Brig. Faisal al-Zawbaie told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).
“The Iraqi police identified the two bombers as brothers and verified their names,” Zawbaie said.
Armed organizations under the name of Sahwa councils were formed by Sunni tribes in most hotspots in the country with the aim of fighting al-Qaeda network in those areas.
It all started in September 2006 with the establishment of the Anbar Sahwa Council, which managed to flush out al-Qaeda from the province once considered Iraq’s most tense in security terms. Al-Qaeda, however, assassinated the former chief of the Anbar Salvation Council, Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha, in a car bomb attack in mid-September 2007.
Falluja, the largest city in the predominantly Sunni province of al-Anbar, lies 45 km west of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

It is still absolutely beyond me where they keep getting these zombie’s to carry out these suicide attacks, and against fellow muslims. How can other muslims support this and even worse, how can many more muslims remain silent about it?
It really is a cult of death, just like that video that Pat posted a day or two ago, of the VBIED driver having that ” ceremony ” before carrying out his attack… masked, robed/ costumed participants, chanting of religious song/ hymn…. all culminating with the” sacrifice ” at the end…… fuck these pukes.
