News for all the International Aid Groups, they hate you too.
Case in point
In the most serious attack today, a car packed with explosives blew up near security barriers outside the offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross/Red Crescent (ICRC), killing at least 10 people.
Couple of points to make. First off the Red Cross refused military protection.
In an interview on the internet website of Germany's ARD public television, Pierre Gassmann said the ICRC would continue to refuse military protection.(emphasis mine - K)
Second they are stunned they would be the target of a terrorist attack.
"We always believed we were protected by the humanitarian work we do," ICRC spokeswoman Nada Doumani told Reuters after the powerful morning blast on the Red Cross's doorstep on Monday.
"We thought that people knew us and we were protected by the work we did. We thought we were different from the rest."
Here's a news flash for you Nada, the terrorists don't like you, nor do they like anyone who they view as aiding the United States. The fact that you are a humanitarian organization is completely irrelevant to them, all that does is make you an unarmed target. Maybe you guys should rethink the whole military protection issue. Just a thought.
