Women of Iraq sign up to fight back

Post by Ops NCO »

Something I thought was interesting....



YUSUFIYAH, Iraq — Entisar Yossif Yaqub’s closest brush with the terror that has paralyzed Iraq came a year ago.

She and her husband were on the road when a car full of masked men forced them to pull over. The couple were forced to get into the car with their armed kidnappers, driven to a house and questioned for three hours while blindfolded.

Excellent story. To see many women in line awaiting their chance to be interviewed for the job is just amazing to me. Good luck ladies.

Thanks. I missed this story.

Very interesting indeed. It will be important to see what changes will come about because of this.
