Bomber’s Wife Insists On War Against US

The Turkish wife of a Jordanian doctor who killed seven CIA employees in a suicide attack in Afghanistan says her husband was outraged over the treatment of Iraquis at Abu Ghraib prison and the US-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Defne Bayrak, the wife of bomber Humam Khalil Abu-al-Balawi, said in an interview with The Associated Press that his hatred of the United States had motivated her husband to sacrifice his life on December 30, in what he regarded as a holy war against the US.

Bayrak also said Friday, “I think the war against the United States must go on.”

Turkish police questioned and released Bayrak on Thursday. But she says police confiscated a book she had written called “Osama bin Ladin the Che Guevera of the East.”
