Islamister på narko

Nu jeg er igang med islamofascister på psykofarmaka, så kom jeg i tanke om en historie der dukkede op i The Times i marts sidste år:

In raids on remote border villages before the Karbala attacks, Colonel Sultan’s officers arrested a dozen men, some of them drugged and brainwashed, and impounded narcotics valued at $20 million (£11 million) and recordings of bin Laden preaching.

Colonel Sultan said that drugs being shipped to the Saudi market originated in Afghanistan and were smuggled through Iran by commercial dealers linked to al-Qaeda, then brought into Iraq with the crowds of Iranian pilgrims visiting the holy Shia cities of Najaf and Karbala. ....

In a practice strikingly similar to the medieval cult of the Assassins, who used hashish to conjure up images of paradise in their suicidal attackers and trained them in remote mountain strongholds, the terrorists lure discontented young men with money and promises of glory for indoctrination.

“It’s a long process to brainwash them. They seduce them with money, then start to use drugs on them until they are half conscious,” Colonel Sultan said. The main drug used on the would-be bombers is Artane, an anti-psychotic prescription drug frequently abused by looters to give them a sense of invulnerability.

Hyggelige mennesker, dem.
