Iranian Bombing Suspects Partied With Prostitutes at Thai Beach resort

BANGKOK (The Blaze/AP) — The three Iranian men detained for allegedly plotting bomb attacks in Bangkok on Israeli diplomats had more than terror on their minds in Thailand. Police said Friday that they had also cavorted with prostitutes at a beach resort.
The news comes as Thai authorities announced they were searching for two more suspects in the botched bomb plot, including a possible explosives specialist who may have been training the Iranians.
The foiled plan was discovered Tuesday when explosives in the men’s rented house blew up by mistake, forcing them to flee. Two were detained in the Thai capital, and a third was captured Wednesday in neighboring Malaysia as he reportedly tried to return to Iran.
After flying into the southern city of Phuket on Feb. 8, the men moved to Pattaya and stayed there for at least two nights before heading to Bangkok. Located 45 miles (70 kilometers) southeast of the Thai capital, Pattaya is particularly notorious for its sleazy sex industry and large contingent of prostitutes.
The Iranians hung out with several female sex workers during their stay there, and one of the women was brought to Bangkok to identify the suspects on Thursday, said Lt. Col. Noppon Kuldiloke, a senior immigration police investigator in southern Thailand.
A cellphone image taken by one of the women, published by the Bangkok Post with an article headlined “Suspects partied in Pattaya,” purportedly showed the three Iranians at a Middle Eastern bar or restaurant surrounded by hookah water-pipes, two of them cradling women in their arms. The men posed for the photo around a low, drink-filled table on which there appeared to be at least one bottle of beer.
The woman who took the image said one of the now-detained suspects, Mohammad Kharzei, had asked her to escort him “because he was not good at speaking English,” according to the Bangkok Post.
She said she brought two companions for Kharzei’s friends, and they had drinks and played snooker together. The woman detected nothing awry, except when one of the Iranians “barred her from approaching a closet” in his hotel room, the newspaper reported.
The botched plot has ratcheted up tensions between Iran and Israel, which is accusing Iran of waging a covert campaign of state terror that included a bombing Monday in New Delhi that tore through an Israeli diplomatic vehicle, wounding an Israeli diplomat’s wife and driver, and a failed bomb attempt the same day in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
Iran has denied responsibility for all three bomb plots, and blames the Jewish state for the recent killings of Iranian atomic scientists.
Thailand’s national police chief said Thursday that the detained Iranians were plotting to attack Israeli diplomats, citing the similarity of so-called “sticky” bombs that can be attached magnetically that were used in New Delhi and Tbilisi.

Moradi’s legs were blown off when explosives he was carrying detonated as he was walking on a Bangkok street, as The Blaze reported.

Though the motives of the bombers are not known, this would not be the first time terrorists have solicited prostitutes or used pornography. This, while at the same time denouncing the West’s so-called loose sexual values.
Senior al Qaeda operative Anwar al-Awlaki – the American-Yemeni imam who was killed in September by missiles fired from an American Predator drone flying over Yemen – preached for violent jihad and hesitated to shake hands with women, but according to a New York Times profile, he also patronized prostitutes.
Three of the 9/11 hijackers reportedly called a prostitute to tryst with them in a Boston area hotel in the week leading up to the fateful attack.
Among the items recovered from the computer files found in Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound were a “considerable quantity of pornographic videos.”

For one they claim they “blend” when they engage in such activities.
For another it is hard to get someone one to kill themselves unless you have them smoke hashish, let them indulge, or lie to them.

Foiled Plan? Stop it. That’s just ridiculous. I don’t blame Iran for not claiming responsibility for these “idiots”… I mean.. 1 idiot blows his OWN legs off and then they completely destroy a house and that constitutes a “foiled plan”.. Stop it.. Which ever training facility is turning out these idiots needs to run 24/7.. They will take each other out thru sheer stupidity and save anyone else the trouble. Keep carrying around those “sticky bombs”.. They seem to working REALLY well for you so far. Getting “legs” up over the competition… (I’m sorry.. that was bad, but it’s early.. =) )

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 7:17amThis is an example of the sort of cultural expression found in Islamic Civilization. It is perfectly normal and totally acceptable to make use of prostitutes before one engages in violent Jihad for the Allah deity. It is a common theme among the jihadi and we’ve seen it over and over again.
Islamic culture espouses much that is abhorrent to the Western mind. Their ways should be rejected at every opportunity.

Come, learn of the true God, His provision for all, and His complete LOVE. Get to know Him through the Bible, but don’t stop with the OT, a time period that included rules to sustain a tribal people, but continue on to the “. . . completion of the law” in the New Testament.

A “religion” based on using women? On frequenting LOOSE women? With the promise of 72 surgeons? I understand it may take 72 surgeons to put them back together after they blow themselves up with lots of innocent people (because “god” wants them to MURDER people).
But, why would any sane person follow a “religion” that teaches them to MURDER people?
Oh, VIRGINS…

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 5:56amThose be some ugly women…no wonder they are all hip on wanting to die.
Seriously, the “west” has no business sticking their noses into womens rights (or any other rights) in other countries. Lasting change comes from within and cannot be forced with any hope of it being sustained. Oh, you can kill thousands and thousands and make life unbearable for 100′s of thousands with wars and sanctions…but it will eventually go right back where it was. The only thing that will change is the level of hatred they hold for the “west.”
Each country or society has to finally stand up and say “no more” all on their very own. Look at all the countries where they achieved this through law after law…they treat pedophiles/rapists/murderers with kid gloves…their over the top law making has lowered their standards of right and wrong to the lowest rung possible…all in the name of creating fairness and equality via laws.
You can’t force it. It is just too bad the middle east came into such incredible wealth at a time in their civilization where they were just a tad more civilized than apes tossing poop at each other. Now their inhuman treatment of women (thanks to the extreme cowardice of the men) has been solidified beyond change.
When a power source (or oil reserve) is found which allows the civilized world to tell the middle east to shove it sideways…then they will change on their own.

Posted on February 20, 2012 at 2:59amUnderstandable in a whacked-out “religion” where women are only present for man’s pleasure and for the purpose of procreation. The men of this religion, also made sure that was no such thing as prostitutes in their religion. They’re called “temporary wives” since it‘s well known that a Muslim male can’t be expected to go without sex for even one day.
Here’s my question. Why is the Westernized World accepting this anti-women, anti-child, murdering ideology as a religion? Praying to a false and evil “god” five times a day doesn’t make you religious, it just proves that you are stupid.
