al Qaeda’s Recruitment Problem

Task Force Baghdad soldiers this morning rescued a man apparently blackmailed into a suicide-bombing mission by terrorist master Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

An initial investigation revealed that terrorists had kidnapped the driver’s family and that he was forced to carry out this suicide-bombing mission to protect his wife and children, coalition officials said.

Shackleford:

Zarqawi is now capturing women and children, and then telling the fathers that if they don’t blow themselves and a few infidels up then he’s going to chop their heads off? Interesting recruiting tactic. Michael Moore’s Minutemen indeed

Secure Liberty adds:

Rusty’s right, al-Zarqawi has himself one pretty severe recruiting problem. … As a side note, what does it show the Iraqi people that we rescues this guy? How big a PR loss is this for al-Zarqawi? Pretty big.
