Saddam's Suicide Bomber Reward Yields Deadly Results
It's been a month since Iraqi madman Saddam Hussein decided to boost the reward he offers to suicide bombers from $10,000 to $25,000 - and the pay raise is apparently paying off.
Since Iraq upped the suicide incentive, 12 Palestinian bombers have successfully blown themselves to smithereens inside Israel, including one man who killed 25, the Associated Press noted today.
The families of three human hand grenades recently reported that they received $25,000 checks.
The kamikaze killers are also often honored as fallen heroes, with their families reaping praise for their sacrifice to the cause. A particularly deadly bomber may even be memorialized with a street named after him.
One pro-Iraqi Palestinian leader told the AP the support payments for relatives often helped potential bombers to make up their minds.
"Some people stop me on the street, saying if you increase the payment to $50,000 I'll do it immediately," he added in apparent jest.
