Down syndrome al-Qaeda bomber story false

The U.S. and Iraqi governments claimed the Feb. 1 suicide bombing of a Baghdad pet market was carried out by two women with Down syndrome duped by al-Qaeda into carrying the bombs.

Subsequent reporting has uncovered that, other than the fact that the women didn’t have Down syndrome or any evident ties to al-Qaeda, the governments’ claims were spot-on.

Remember, these are the same people who keep telling you the surge is working.
