Another cross-dressing jihadist caught

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 6, 2007 10:45 AM

Last summer, a Taliban leader was caught trying to escape the siege at the Red Mosque in Pakistan disguised in a burka.

Last spring, Afghan soldiers stopped another fleeing Taliban leader, Mullah Mamood, at a checkpoint wearing a burqa.

One of the 7/7 bombers in London was dressed in a burka and caught on security cameras, according to this British TV report.

A Somalian fugitive wanted for the murder of a policewoman escaped from Britain by disguising himself as a veiled Muslim woman.

Add a new incident to the list: According to a press release yesterday, our troops in Iraq nabbed another cross-dressing jihadist (hat tip – Kevin Gregory at McClatchy Watch) during an operation disrupting al Qaeda forces:

Coalition Forces killed eight terrorists and detained 10 suspects Tuesday during operations to disrupt al-Qaeda and foreign terrorist networks in central and northern Iraq.

Coalition forces targeted a suspected terrorist involved in planning improvised explosive device attacks and facilitating foreign terrorists during operations in Tuz, south of Kirkuk.

Reports indicate he was one of the chief planners for the suicide car bombing attacks July 16, killing more than 70 Iraqi people and injuring more than 130 in Kirkuk.

Upon arriving to the target area, the ground force saw three individuals evading Coalition forces and maneuvering south.

Coalition forces pursued the suspects into a tunnel system near a river. A fourth armed man engaged the ground force from a defensive position. Responding in self-defense, the ground force engaged and killed the terrorist with sniper fire. Coalition forces called for supporting aircraft to engage the enemy in the tunnels, killing two terrorists. Later, the assault force safely destroyed the tunnel system with an air strike to prevent further use by terrorists.

As the ground force secured the target area, they called for the occupants of a building to come out. A suspected terrorist, who came out with an unknown object above his head, was repeatedly told to drop the object. The individual did not comply and displayed hostile intent toward Coalition forces.

Responding in self defense, the ground force engaged with sniper fire, killing the terrorist. Another man dressed in women’s clothing, was apparently attempting to elude Coalition forces, he and another suspect were detained on site.

    Instead of making these islamofascists wear women’s underwear on their heads (i.e. real torture according to liberals) just have them wear complete wardrobes of women’s clothing. If they seem to think that it is appropriate attire, how could the liberals possibly equate it to torture? But please, no Hillary mask; that would be torture to our troops who have to look at them!

    one of the edicts of war from the great mohammed himself was ‘to lie to your enemy’ wearing women’s clothing is considered appropriate. As this would be deemd a ‘lie’ to your enemy.

    however, making him in custody dress in women’s attire from underclothing to outside burqa. and place in arabic on his clothing: here is a homosexual caught in the act. Just see what his fellow prisoners do to him!!! LOL..

    I’m a security contractor over in Afghanistan. I have worn a burka on some of the longer road trips for the simple reason that it works. Seems the local see a burka in the back seat and just ignore it completely. At police checkpoint, they totally look past me (and the rilfe underneath). We have never gotten hit while dress as such, (at least not yet). Figured the bad guys would take the tactic, guess they assumed everybody was as sexist as them.

    My local driver always felt this was wrong, that a real man would never wear a burka. Can’t wait to show him this. I have a feeling the locals will just assume it is ‘American Propaganda’ and ignore it completely. Thanks for the report.

    Yes, one can only speculate on what Allah thinks of crossdressers. As stated above, publicly defrock him and let the chips fall where they may.

    Someday, the parents of the child suicide murderers will see the folly of following a “leader” that thinks HE is too good for martyrdom!

    Desertlover:My thoughts,exactly.I often wonder why our government isn’t using these incidents of hypocracy among the leaders of the jihad in a comprehensive informational campaign to thwart the propagada that the jihadi are using to recruit young people to die as “martyrs”,when the leaders themselves are such cowards.

    Burkas are such a big hit in Islamic countries because they are buttonless, and easy to don. Convenient for when your male cousin cuts off your hands because you did not walk far enough behind him.

    It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic. Conveniently, dressing as a woman is considered an “acceptable” means of evasion amongst the more educated jihadists. They have multiple ways to explain away their cowardice, all from the Koran (or their interpretation thereof).

    Allow me to hijack this link. At Midway a couple of weeks ago I was stopped and asked to remove my suit jacket by the individual manning the metal detector. I had kept it on after noticing an East Indian woman sail through security the next line over. This individual was wearing an elaborate pashmina shawl over a sari which, between the two articles of clothing, probably involved five times times the fabric of my jacket. We all know who won the ensuing loud and extended battle. Foreign nationals wearing traditional attire appear to be invisible to security. One could misplace a double-barrelled shotgun in the sari even without the pashmina.

    I’ve maintained that OBL has been able to move around freely in Afganistan and PPakistan in a extra long burka for years. Heck, why not? Right?

    “Following parent complaints, a middle school on the outskirts of the Bay Area has reversed course and canceled a cross-dressing or “gender switch” day.
    The mother of a seventh-grade student at Adams Middle School was alarmed when she heard that on the last day of the school’s “Spirit Week,” students were being encouraged to dress like the opposite sex.”

The “kid” was able to get close enough to our convoy to set off a car bomb (VBIED) when it passed by one of our Humvees. The gunner ( a Captain who always took his turn in the turret) was injured, and awarded the Purple Heart. The Afghan National Army (ANA) spotted the “kid” and captured him. I hope Michelle uses the pics.????
