Remote Control Improvised Explosive Devices Cost 17 Bucks A Piece In Iraq!

Was reading up on the latest from Iraq and found this little tidbit buried in the report:

-Snip-
Security forces captured a reputed key member of Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi’s al-Qaida in Iraq terrorist group who is accused of building and selling cars used by suicide bombers, the Iraqi government said Tuesday. He was identified as Jassim Hazan Hamadi al-Bazi, also known as Abu Ahmed, and was arrested June 7, the government said. It added that he was part of an al-Qaida cell run by a man identified as Hussayn Ibrahim. The government said he built and sold remote-controlled bombs used in roadside attacks from an electronic repair shop in Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad. He sold the bombs for about $17 each “and was involved in building suicide vehicle” bombs and land mines that were used in Balad and Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, the statement said.

How long will it take the insurgency to go bankrupt with deals like that available. I suspect a long, long time. Hell, you can't buy a remote control car at Radio Shack for those prices!

Of course since much of the bomb making materials were stolen from facilities we were supposed to be guarding, their cost for materials is very low!

And Oh Yes, we captured ANOTHER high ranking Al Qaeda operative. Number 3?
