AQI’s Desperation: Female Suicide Bombers :: Gates of Vienna
Al Qaeda in Iraq is claiming the formation of a new fighting group: “Al-Khansa Suicide Bomber Brigade.” This stalwart band of warriors will consist of women only.
Pamphlets left in Sunni Muslim mosques and neighborhoods in Baghdad proclaim:
“Verily a group of faithful women, consisting of mothers, wives and daughters of martyrs who were members of the Islamic State of Iraq, have formed the suicide bomber brigade al-Khansa…”
Al-Khansa was a seventh century poet - a woman named Tumadir bint Amru al-Harith bint al-Sharid- who converted to Islam in Mohammed’s early days. Her sons died in holy wars and she wrote paeans to their glorious deaths.
