Two mentally disabled women were strapped with explosives Friday and sent into busy Baghdad markets, where they were blown up by remote control, a top Iraqi government official said.
Iraqi soldiers secure the scene of a bombing Friday at a popular pet market in central Baghdad.
The bombs killed at least 98 people and wounded more than 200 at two popular pet markets on the holiest day of the week for Muslims, authorities said.
In both bombings, the attackers were mentally disabled women whose explosive belts were remotely detonated, Gen. Qasim Atta, spokesman for Baghdad's security plan, told state television.
For Al-Qaeda to be using mentally disabled women reeks of desperation. They are simply running out of recruits to blow themselves up, they've lost significant ground, and now they've resorted to even further cowardly acts.
Of course, you could make the argument that all suicide bombers and Al-Qaeda members are mentally disabled, but that wouldn't be right to say towards these two women with Down's Syndrome. Let's just say they have Down's syndrome, and suicide bombers and Al-Qaeda members are simply retarded.
But what equally shows their desperation, is the fact that they had to trick these women into doing it. They didn't convince these women to do it for their shitty cause, they tricked them into their deaths. Couple this with my earlier story about Al-Qaeda fielding internet questions, and you see they are in some serious trouble.
