I'm Sure the Marines Will be Happy To Oblige

The young from bin-Laden's homeland wish to be martyred:

SAN`A, Yemen - For weeks, Mohammed Ahmed Abdul-Rahman could only wonder where his son had gone. Then the mystery was solved in a will.

"I am in Iraq (
news - web sites), seeking martyrdom. I hope we are all forgiven," Abdul-Rahman quoted his son's will as reading, saying in a weekend interview that an unknown caller from Jordan had told him how to find the document three weeks after 20-year-old Hossam Abdul-Rahman vanished in September. He said he doesn't know whether his son is dead.

Just a thought here; to be a martyr, you have to be...well, dead. How successful can an insurgency be if they attract only those who wish to die?
