Suicide bombers are today’s weapon of choice. Terrorists are using suicide bombers because they are a low cost, low technology, and low risk weapon. Suicide bombers are readily available, require little training, leave no trace behind, and strike fear into the general population.

Afternoon...
The info hounds picked up on new photos from AP/Maya Alleruzzo as she tracks the work of Charlie Battery, Fires Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment in the village of Zaganiyah, Iraq. These snapshots are a glimpse into the environment and work being performed by the 2nd SCR northeast of Baghdad.
Additionally, I was tipped to an interesting read on today's Up Country Iraq blog about the city of Baquba. This is a location many of us are already familiar with...but for those who are not, spend some time with this blog as it provides firsthand insight into work conducted over the past couple of years and the state of affairs in Baquba today. Say, prior to this deployment of the 2nd SCR, how many of us could find Baquba on a map?
Here is how the Baquba blog ends...probably not that far from the truth...
"The attached pictures are from Baquba. One is just a traffic circle in town. The other one is obviously a couple of Baqubian kids – future allies or future terrorists? We didn’t stop to give them candy, so they were probably leaning towards terrorist that day."
The other stories that caught my eye include a report about a female suicide bomber that was killed 60 miles northeast of Baghdad before she could detonate her explosives belt. I am sure you are aware that trending shows an uptic in the number of female suicide bombers in Iraq with nine of the twenty, almost half, occurring in the Diyala province. If you are curious as to why terrorist organizations employ female suicide bombers, what motivates them, etc., this study from 2004 might help shed some light - Female Suicide Bombers. Many however, will simply just ask...why?
Iraqi guards kill female suicide bomber
Program in Iraq against al-Qaida faces uncertainty
NPs, SoI, MND-B Soldiers seize weapons, munitions in Baghdad
As we begin another week, continue to remember all of our warriors from the 2nd SCR - pray for their safety and that they would continue to be encouraged...
Chris, I love you buddy and remember your sacrifice every day...be safe!
