Suicide Bombers Celebrate On Tape

[GabysPoppy]

A new videotape, purportedly made by al Qaeda, turned up today on an Islamic Web site based in the Persian Gulf.

CBS News Correspondent Thalia Assuras reports it claims to show militants preparing for and carrying out a suicide bomb attack that killed 17 people in Saudi Arabia last November.

The video shows a young Saudi man wearing the radiant smile of a groom being serenaded as if it were his wedding day.

But his bride is in the afterlife. The video also shows well-wishers surrounding the man chanting, "The virgins are waiting." Other verses translate to "you are going to your second house in heaven."

Some non-serious questions come to mind.

1) Are the groom and brides registered for gifts at a funeral parlor?

2) Do the parents of the 72 "virgin brides" share in the cost of the wedding?

3) Is the wedding song "Born to kill"?

4) Is the traditional "first dance" the Macarena or the Electric Slide?

5) Black tie or everyday camouflage?

6) Can I order a fish dinner?
