Camels of Mass Destruction
oh, fer cryin’ out loud...
Saddam’s secret weapon: Saddam Hussein planned on using “camels of mass destruction” ...fitted with explosives to attack enemy lines.
Whatta guy.
The official, hand-written documents detailed outlined the planned resistance to the invasion, including instructions on the training of suicide bombers… who were supposed to be foreign volunteers, and specifies the training programs to be headed by local commanders.
The document further details that “the second phase of the training will concentrate on activating body explosives, with the aid of motorcycles, cars, and camels”. Camels “will be supplied by the general intelligence,” the document noted.
Has a familiar ring to it…
The documents are written in a local Arab dialect and expose part of the bureaucratic system Saddam enacted in Iraq. The documents were translated by native Arabic speakers from “The Free Republic,"
