Where's That Stolen SUV?

Did someone steal your SUV?

Maybe you can find it ....in Syria!

The FBI's counterterrorism unit has launched a broad investigation of US-based theft rings after discovering that some of the vehicles used in deadly car bombings in Iraq, including attacks that killed US troops and Iraqi civilians, were probably stolen in the United States, according to senior government officials.

...The inquiry began after coalition troops raided a bomb-making factory in Fallujah last November and found a sport utility vehicle registered in Texas that was being prepared for a bombing mission.

Investigators said they are comparing several other cases where vehicles evidently stolen in the United States wound up in Syria or other Middle East countries and ultimately into the hands of Iraqi insurgent groups -- including Al Qaeda in Iraq, led by Jordanian-born Abu Musab Al Zarqawi

So how do you spell "Chop-Shop" in Arabic?

To paraphrase Dubya:

This is all Bill Clinton's fault, right Dick.

It's ironic that american SUVs are being used to blow up troops in Iraq, considering that the troops are over there BECAUSE OF american SUVs. A double whammy.

Something like this: ساطور متجر
