Suicide Bomber Wearing Iraqi Soldier Uniform

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The suicide bomber believed to have carried out this week’s devastating attack on a U.S. military dining tent, killing more than 20 people, was probably wearing an Iraqi military uniform, a U.S. general said Thursday.

For background information, click here and here.

Even though it has not been confirmed the suicide bomber was wearing an Iraqi military uniform, for the sake of argument let’s assume it has been confirmed. Naturally the question remains is how did a terrorist get an Iraqi military uniform.

The suicide bomber, according to the Ansar al-Sunnah website, worked at the base since October therefore he would have had access to whatever uniforms were left behind. His exact position within in the base however is not known so he very well could have been an Iraqi soldier, though no reports indicate this is the case.

Ansar al-Sunnah has systematically attacked Iraqi soldiers in several terrorist attacks. I have not found any reports indicating any clothing was taken from soldiers before they were executed, however based upon terrorists snatching up identification and other personal items of their victims this can be a reasonable explanation.

Update:
The video of the Ansar al-Sunnah suicide bombing in the U.S. mess hall in Mosul can be downloaded through Ogrish, thanks to Cindy. It isn’t anything special and pretty much is like every other terrorist video released.

    I previously suggested that the insurgent/terrorist/Islamofascist was probably wearing an Iraqi National Guard uniform but only because of the SPT article and I would rather have been wrong. Terrrorists have long before now filtrated the ING and Iraqi …

    HOW EASY THE IRAQI’S FORGET HOW LIFE WAS UNDER SADDAM HUSSEIN.

    _________________________________________________Dr. Jack Shepard remembers consoling a father of one of the Children dying in Baghdad’s Children’s Hospital in March 2001; due to the lack of basic food supplements. by Dr. Jack Shepard Dr. Jack Shepard remebers consoling a father of one of the Children dying in Baghdad’s Children’s Hospital in March 2001; due to the lack of basic food supplements and adequate medicine, because Saddam Hussein choose to spend Billions of dollars of the Iraqi people money on himself. Dr. Shepard said presently the extremists in Iraq do not respect the uniqueness of each human as they were created by Allah. Dr. Shepard’s repeats what the Prophet Mohammad said almost 1400 years ago, “this man will dwell in hell by his actions and this man will dwell in heaven by his.” Basically what Dr. Shepard is saying that the teachings of Mohammad have been forgotten by the extremists and presently by their actions the extremists will be judged by the deeds and Allah will send them to dwell in Hell forever. The Prophet Mohammad teaching were based on submission to Allah; to do right and be granted eternal life. Dr. Shepard prayers for the day when the Iraqi people can get on with their lives. If the Iraqi People do not learn to respect each other and begin to speak out against the antisocial behavior and protest it the streets; the Iraqi people will never begin to be able to get on with their lives. To avert continued anarchy the mass of Iraqi People who really wish peace and happiness must speak out in the streets for peace, their silence to what is now happening only allows this twist and distorted situation where we find one Iraqi Brother killing another. This is only happening because many power-monger in the Iraqi population each wish to be an important power-mongers even if he has to kill his fellow Iraqi to establish their dominance as the new Iraqi leader. These people are truly people without a soul and do not fear Allah as the Prophet Mohammad taught. They are creating an environment for themselves where they will never see heaven. I and the world grow weary that this rebellious attitude has now become a fad. Presently in all truth many Iraqi’s have become real mindless hypocrites by not stopping and protesting this new generation of power-mongers who are beginning to kill each other in ever greater numbers because they are set on ruling Iraq but reject the world trying to help their fellow Iraqi who are dying and starving because of their inhuman behavior. May Allah Bless Iraq and the Iraqi People with Peace and Happiness. This will only happen when the Average Iraqi man on the street cry out remember Allah you my brothers of Iraq. You must stop this evil behavior or you will dwell in the fires of Hell forever.

    DR. JACK SHEPARD REMINDERS US; “THAT THE CHEIF COMMANDMENTS WERE NOT ONLY TO LOVE GOD BUT ALSO TO LOVE ONE’S NEIGHBOR”

    POPE JOHN PAUL II BLESSES DR. JACK SHEPARD’S
    MIDDLE EAST PEACE EFFORTS
    visit
    http://www.shepardusgov.com/10_deset/00_Deset_pocetak.htm

    THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

    ARE THE BASIS OF THE LAW AND ARE TREASURED AS WORDS OF LIFE*.

    JESUS TAUGHT
    “THAT THE CHEIF COMMANDMENTS WERE NOT ONLY TO LOVE GOD
    BUT ALSO TO LOVE ONE’S NEIGHBOR AND
    LOVE IS THE BASIS OF ALL OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S COMMANDS.

    PUNISHMENT IS NOT, HOWEVER, GOD’S LAST WORD.
    GOD DOES NOT WANT HIS PEOPLE TO PERISH UTTERLY;
    A “REMNANT”
    WILL BE ALLOWED TO SURVIVE.
    THERE IS IN THE PROPHETIC MIND NO PERSPECTIVE
    TO DISTINGUISH GOD’S IMMIMENT PUNITIVE INTERVENTION
    FROM HIS REMOTE AND FINAL JUDGEMENT;
    HENCE THE “REMNANT”
    IS AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME
    THOSE WHO SURVIVE THE IMMEDIATE PERIL
    AND THOSE WHO ARE TO WIN FINAL SALVATION.
    THE COURSE OF CURRENT HISTORY WILL MAKE THAT DISTINCTLY CLEAR.

    IF WE SURVIVE AS A SACRED EARTH?
    WE ARE DIVINELY ASSURED OF A GREAT FUTURE.
    IN OUR AGE WE CAN HAVE SUCH HAPPINESS THAT THE WORLD HAS NEVER KNOWN.

    WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD;
    WE ARE ALL AT THE HEART OF THE PROPHETIC HEART OF PROPHETIC HOPE
    FOR
    PEACE AND JOY.

    OUR ONLY CHANCE FOR PEACE AND SURVIVIAL
    IS BY A RENEWED COMMITMENT
    TO
    THE REALIZATION OF THE KINGSHIP OF GOD.
    FOR THIS, THE ESSENTIALS OF HOPE IMPLY
    A PROFOUND NEW SPIRITUAL OUTLOOK
    OF
    VIRTUE AND HOLINESS
    WHICH ENTAILS A NEW MODE OF LIFE.

    WE MUST ASK FOR DIVINE FORGIVENESS
    BY BEGINNING TO LEARN THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.
    BY LEARNING THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD;
    THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN WE BEGIN TO ENJOY PEACE AND HAPPINESS.

    MORALITY IS BASED ON THE LAW ENUNICATED BY GOD
    BUT NOW IS OFTEN BROKEN.
    IF ANYONE IS TO ESCAPE PUNISHMENT FOR THEIR SINS THEY MUST SEEK GOD.
    THE MORAL CONDUCT OF THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD
    IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAT THE RITUAL PRACTICE.

    GOD ASKS FOR A RELIGION OF THE HEART;
    THIS IS TO BE THE CONDITION OF THE CONVENT THAT IS TO COME.
    PRESENTLY SIN INFECTS ENTIRE NATIONS,
    CORRUPTING THEM AND IT SEEMS BEYOND HOPE AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME.

    TODAY WICKEDNESS IS RIFE
    AND INVITES THE VENGEANCE OF GOD ON ALMOST ALL.
    MUCH OF THE SIN TODAY IS NATIONAL AND COLLECTIVE
    SO MAY BE GOD’S PUNISHMENT.

    EVEN SO WE CAN HOPE AND RENEW OUR PRAYERS
    FOR INDIVIDUAL PUNISHMENT
    BY DEEPENING AND LEARNING TO APPRECIATE WHAT GOD DEMANDS.
    THAT THE CHEIF COMMANDMENTS ARE
    NOT ONLY TO LOVE GOD BUT ALSO TO LOVE ONE’S NEIGHBOR
    AND LOVE IS THE BASIS OF ALL OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S COMMANDS.
    WE MUST WORK TO CHANGE
    OUR PRESENT PATTERN OF NATIONAL AND COLLECTIVE WICKEDNESS
    OR WE WILL INVITE THE VENGEANCE OF GOD.

    GOD ASKS FOR RELIGION OF THE HEART
    THIS IS A CONDITION OF THE COVENANT THAT IS TO COME IF WE WISH PEACE NOW.
    WE MUST BEGIN TO LIVE BY THIS SPIRIT AND LET GODS SPIRIT INTO OUR HEART.
    WE MUST CHANGE OUR PRESENT MORAL PRACTICES
    OF HOSTILITY BETWEEN NATIONS OR WE SURELY WILL PERISH!

    THE COURSE OF HISTORY ITSELF MAKES THIS DISTINCTION VERY CLEAR.
    ONLY IN SHARING OUR MATERIAL PROPERITY AND POWER CAN WE HOPE THAT
    IN THIS AGE THERE WILL BE SUCH HAPPINESS
    THAT THE WORLD HAS NEVER KNOWN.

    AT THIS TIME OUR IMMEDIATE PERIL COULD EASILY HAVE NO SURVIVERS.
    OUR ONLY CHANCE FOR SURVIAL
    IS THE COLLAPSE OF PRETENSIONS TO POLITICAL DOMINATION.”
