NEW HORRIFYING TACTIC MEANS THAT THE JIHADISTS ARE RUNNING OUT OF VOLUNTEERS IN IRAQ

NYTIMES/AP:

Insurgents are now using unwitting kidnap victims as suicide bombers -- seizing them, booby-trapping their cars without their knowledge, then releasing them only to blow up the vehicles by remote control, the Defense Ministry warned Thursday. ... first "a motorist is kidnapped with his car. They then booby-trap the car without the driver knowing. Then the kidnapped driver is released and threatened to take a certain road."

The kidnappers then follow the car and when the unwitting victim ''reaches a checkpoint, a public place, or an army or police patrol, the criminal terrorists following the driver detonate the car from a distance." ...

It was unclear from the Defense Ministry's statement whether the insurgents are using kidnap victims because they are having trouble finding recruits for suicide missions. ...

Although roadside bombs are the main weapon used by insurgents, suicide car bombers are often their most effective one -- designed to maximize casualties and sow fear among the population.

If they had volunteers, then they could just steal the cars. This is another sign that the enemy is in it's last throes - if we can keep them from being reinforced by Iran and Syria.
