| 2003-03-21 |
| The militant Islamic groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad urged Iraqis on Friday to carry out suicide bombings against invading U.S. and British forces in Iraq. "Iraqis should prepare explosive belts and would-be martyrs (suicide bombers) to combat the U.S. occupiers," senior Hamas leader Abdel Aziz-al-Rantissi told Reuters in the Gaza Strip. "The American aggressors, the American invaders are now on Iraqi soil, therefore, Iraqis must confront them with all possible means, including martyrdom (suicide) operations." "Yep. Yep. That's what you guys ought to do. You oughta kill yourselves..." "Yup. Like Abdul Aziz said, you guys oughta kill yourselves. We'll be right behind you..." The Islamic Jihad, another militant group that has carried out suicide bombings against Israelis, also took up the call. "We urge all fighters... to advance in their explosive belts toward the invading forces, to blow up their blessed bodies amid the new aggressive crusader forces," it said in a statement sent to Reuters in Beirut. "You'll never be victorious unless you're flying meat!" Thousands of Palestinians also voiced their anger over the U.S.-led war in Iraq by |
