SIX teenage boys allegedly being trained as suicide bombers were detained in the northern Iraq city of Mosul yesterday.
Major General Abdul-Karim Khalaf of the interior ministry said the boys were between 14 and 16 and initial inquiries showed they had been being trained by a Saudi militant killed by the military.

The full article contains 57 words and appears in The Scotsman newspaper.

They were threatened they would be killed or their families would be killed..At least the guy training them hadn't gotten to the part where they are handcuffed to a steering wheel..just in case they should change their minds.

American, you and I know that is what the terrorists do...appeasers and apologists turn a blind eye to the truth. They have done that with terrorists who are trying to blow up checkpoints. They got many of these kids and adults by threatening to kill the families.
The only thing, at Scotsman, is they neglect to relate these details to their readers.

American..here is one detail, you might have missed as to why the Islamic sympathizers might feel foolish, and why they are appeasers and apoligists.
The Scotsman itsself printed this article, and it explains a lot!!

47% of Scots affected by dementia

ALMOST half of Scots are affected by dementia. A study found that 47 per cent of people north of the Border – about 2.4 million – have a close friend, family member or someone else who is affected.
The Alzheimer's Research Trust, which commissioned the research, warned of a "dementia crisis in Scotland" and called for more funding.

Lynne, I think your #5 comment shows signs of dementia. war is a bad thing, if you had any sense, then you'd know this. There's not 1 instance in recorded history of a suicide bomber in Iraq prior to March of 2003. I wonder what happened then to get them started?

here's the real drama now in Iraq - the US is trying to force Iraq into being a vasal state facilitating the US conducting more war in the region with permanent bases in Iraq, putting Iraqi troops under US control as though a colony, etc. Here's some articles on it.

The 1'st article reviews the agreement. The 2'nd article shows the Iraqis don't want it. The 3'rd article shows the US is blackmailing Iraqi leaders into accepting it.

War is not a good thing Lynne. It is a pity you've not learned that lesson. Many of our soldiers have. Eighteen US vets committ suicide every single day.

I dare say that is a higher suicide rate than the Iraqi terrorists Lynne. Are you going to call for a war against our soldiers now??? Oh, I forgot you already do support their sacrifice in useless wars which is a war against them Lynne. That's why they're committing suicide, if you had sense you'd know that.
