Jihadists Hiding Bombs Among Pets, Children

At the beginning of the month it was toys:

TWO suspected Islamic militants had been arrested with explosives hidden inside toys which they planned to blow up at a busy market in New Delhi, Indian police said today. Samimullah and Ali Mohammad, both from Indian Kashmir, were arrested at a New Delhi railway station on suspicion of belonging to pro-Pakistan militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, senior police official Karnal Singh said.

Now it's pets:

bomb hidden in a box holding pigeons tore through a crowded animal market in central Baghdad on Friday, killing at least 14 people and wounding dozens, police said, in a blast that also left the carcasses of dead birds, dogs and other creatures scattered on the blood-soaked ground.

We're not going to go the PETA route and say that it's worse to kill animals than humans because animals are uninvolved in the human-engineered conflict. We'll pose a more modest question: what kind of animal targets children and pets for deliberate destruction? We're not talking rationally on a scale of "well this group deserves this much violence, while this group only deserves this much violence..." Just on a visceral, human level - who the hell hides bombs in pigeon cages and toys? Who the hell wants to murder children and pets? There are very, very deep instincts buried very, very deep in humans that scream against this. In a very clinical sense, you have to be very sick - beyond help - to coldly do something like this.

We're trying to figure out a way that we can blame Israel for what these barbarians do, but we just can't come up with anything. No worries, we're sure that the left side of the blogosphere will come up with some reason.
