Suicide bomber holds syrian passport Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.albawaba.com/news/index.php3?sid=262151&lang=e&dir=news http://www.albawaba.com/news/index.php3?sid=262151&lang=e&dir=news Iraqi minister: Would-be bomber holds Syrian passport 29-10-2003, 11:03 The would-be bomber thwarted in Monday's suicide bombing wave in Baghdad was a Yemeni holding a Syrian passport, Iraqi interim Health Minister Khodair Abbas said on Wednesday. "According to the initial investigation results, the detained bomber is a Yemeni holding a Syrian passport," Abbas said. "The suspect did not want to give any information on the other two passengers in his car who managed to escape, nor the identity of the other bombers in the attacks," he said. "There is a real possibility the bombers were fundamentalist, Wahhabists," he said. A U.S. military spokesperson said the man was caught Monday when he attempted to drive an explosives-packed car towards a police station in Baghdad's Al-Jadida area. He fled on foot when his car came under fire and then fell down and shouted "wait, I am Syrian," the spokesman said. A Syrian passport was later found on him, the spokesman said. (Albawaba.com)
