Mother Upset Her Daughter Failed - At Suicide Bombing!

I know sometimes disappointing things happen to our kids, but this is just insane.

A Palestinian mother, on PA television, told the story of her disappointment in her daughter's failure in a suicide bombing.

Twenty-one year old Wafa Al-Bas was arrested at a crossing in June 2005, wearing a 20 pound explosives belt.

Al-Bas intended to bomb Be'er Sheva's Soroka Hospital outpatient clinic, where she had been receiving regular treatments for serious burns on 45 percent of her body resulting from a gas stove explosion in her home.

The failed bomber later told Israeli television that her greatest wish was to kill 30 to 50 Israelis, including children. The hospital attack would likely have killed or maimed the very Israeli doctor who had saved her life.

Al-Bas' mother said in the PA TV interview that she knew that her daughter had wanted to be a martyr since she was a little girl, but had not encouraged her - not because she opposed the idea of suicide bombing, but because Wafa was female. "If it was a boy, I would have supported, but since she is a girl I discouraged," she said.

Nice girl. Kill the doctor who saved you, plus kids in a clinic. That is a great goal in life - if you are twisted.

Interviewer: "How did you receive the news of Wafa's arrest?"
Wafa's mother: "When I received the news, it was hard for me. Hard."
Interviewer: "Excuse me, was the hardship in that she failed in the martyrdom-seeking operation and was arrested, or in the arrest itself?"
Wafa's mother: "The arrest itself. Her wish was martyrdom, Wafa, since she was a little girl."

And people in the Bush Administration think that we can have peace in the Middle East.
