ABC News The Blotter: Suicide Bomb Teams Sent to U.S., Europe

Posted by Kendall Harmon

Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany were introduced at an al Qaeda/Taliban training camp graduation ceremony held June 9.

A Pakistani journalist was invited to attend and take pictures as some 300 recruits, including boys as young as 12, were supposedly sent off on their suicide missions.

The tape shows Taliban military commander Mansoor Dadullah, whose brother was killed by the U.S. last month, introducing and congratulating each team as they stood.

"These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places," Dadullah says on the tape. "Why shouldn't we go after them?"

In a related story, the Minister for Religious Affairs in Pakistan thinks that Muslims are prefectly justified in doing this…because Salman Rushdie is now Sir Salman Rushdie.

Now stop calling them violent or they’ll blow up another pizza parlor!
