Can you store C-4 in their humps?

Saddam Hussein apparently was ready to turn camels – the “ships of the desert” – into suicide zodiacs:

Saddam Hussein planned to use “camels of mass destruction” as weapons to defend Iraq, loading them with bombs and directing them towards invading forces.
The animals were part of a plan to arm and equip foreign insurgents drawn up by the dictator shortly before the American-led invasion three years ago, reveals a 37-page report, captured after the fall of Baghdad and just released by the Pentagon. It is part of a cache of thousands of documents that the United States Department of Defence says it does not have the resources to translate.

If the translation is correct, it suggests that many of the foreign fighters now attacking coalition forces and bombing Iraqi civilians were directly trained by the Saddam regime, although there are no known reports of camels being used in suicide attacks.

If Iraqi insurgents had used camels as platforms for explosives in suicide attacks, I’m sure PETA would have sprung into action.

  1. Son of a–! American pig-dogs! You have discovered our plot! Submersible camels piloted up the Potomac River by valiant members of our elite AquaCamel Strike Team were to crash into the White House… (and three tan houses as well as that ugly aquamarine home on 42nd St…)
    Yes you accursed and despised sons of sand fleas! We were to put Operation NotStupidEnoughForNetworkNews into action at 3pm today… just as soon as our trained hordes of UNdocumented workers finished swarming across the Mexican border and began digging the canal from the riverside to Pennsylvania Avenue…. Damn you! Damn you all!
