Al Qaeda Sewed Bombs Inside Dogs in Failed Jet Attack
We’ve all heard of bomb dogs, who sniff out explosive materials. It appears al Qaeda has put a sick new twist on this, and made dog bombs — or at least attempted to do so.
The Paris newspaper, Le Figaro, has reported that two years ago, al Qaeda bomb makers snatched two stray dogs off the streets of Iraq, opened them up, and stitched powerful explosives and detonators in each dog. They then placed the dogs in kennels for a flight bound for the US, according to the New York Post.
This stray Iraqi dog, Sandbag, became a hero dog to British soldiers there. In terrorists' hands, he could have become a house for explosives, as two of his street brothers did. (Very sadly, despite pleas of service officials, Sandbag was not allowed to return with his troops to Britain last August.) (Photo: AP)
