Husband took wife to suicide bombing

According to the teachings of Hamas, the radical Islamic group of which the couple were both members, al-Riyashi’s mission required her husband’s consent if she was to attain “martyrdom”.

According to Palestinian security services, the couple had been meticulously prepared for their mission. The day before, they were seen with Sami Abu Assi, al-Riyashi’s “handler” from Izzedine al-Qassam, Hamas’s military wing.

Al-Riyashi was the first Palestinian mother to carry out a suicide bombing. Described as a devout Muslim who gave lessons on the Koran, she came from a prominent merchant family and her life appears to have been devoid of the despair and grief said to have driven those who went before her.

A week earlier Shapira, a computer student, had refused entry to a Palestinian man who also triggered the alarm, blaming an implant. Last week he weakened when he saw the tearful, apparently disabled young woman in the line of thousands of Palestinians queuing up at the crossing point. He paid for his compassion with his life.

those who pray together, don't necessarily stay together. :evilgrin:

Bad theology and bad engineering leading to needless death.

If you think you need to kill a whole bunch of people it's not all that hard to do it without killing yourself.

But the libertarian side of me says more power to them if they really want to die stupidly.
