Protecting the Weak From Al Qaeda Barbarians

Fearing al-Qaida, Iraqis rounds up beggars, mentally disabled

The Iraqi Interior Ministry has ordered police to round up beggars, vagabonds and mentally disabled people from the streets in Baghdad to prevent them from being used by insurgents as suicide bombers, a spokesman said Tuesday.

The decision came after a series of suicide attacks, including two female bombers who struck pet markets in Baghdad on February 1, killing nearly 100 people. Iraqi and US officials have said the women were mentally disabled and apparently unwitting bombers.

Have to wonder what they will think of next.  How much lower can they sink?
