Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi (Arabic: ساجدة الريشاوي‎ born c. 1970 – 4 February 2015) was a failed suicide bomber.

She was convicted in the November 9, 2005 Amman bombings in Jordan, having survived when her explosive belt failed to detonate. Al-Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for the triple bombings that hit three hotels near simultaneously and said the attack happened because the hotels were frequented by Israelis and Western tourists.

She and her husband Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari are thought to have been Iraqi citizens and had Iraq accents. According to her confession they traveled into Jordan about 5 days before the bombings on forged passports. She, along with her husband, entered the the Amman Radisson Hotel ballroom during a wedding. When she had trouble detonating her suicide belt her husband pushed her out of the room before detonating a bomb that killed 38 people.

She was sentenced to death as a result of her involvement in the hotel suicide bombings. Jordan carried out this sentence on February 4, 2015, in retaliation for the execution of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh by the ISIS terrorist organization after the group released a video showing al-Kasabeh's execution online. Jordan had expressed willingness to swap al-Rishawi in exchange for the pilot's safe return, however the pilot had already been killed a month earlier.

Court proceedings

Al-Rishawi was later captured by Jordanian authorities and confessed on national television. She was shown making a videotaped confession with an apparent suicide bomb device around her and a detonator in hand showing that the device failed to explode, but later retracted her confession.

She was sentenced to death by hanging by a Jordanian military court on 21 September 2006.[2] She appealed against this conviction but her appeal was dismissed in January 2007. As of 4 October 2010, she was in the process of appeal of her sentence. Al-Rishawi and Ziad Khalaf al-Karbouly were executed by hanging on 4 February 2015.

ISIL

Al-Rishawi is reportedly the sister of a former close aide of deceased al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Some reports name her brother as Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi who was killed by US forces on Iraq. Al-Qaida in Iraq is now known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

On 24 January 2015, ISIL offered to trade Japanese hostage Kenji Goto for Sajida al-Rishawi. Following the beheading of Goto, a prisoner swap between Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh (also a prisoner of ISIL, whom Jordan demanded proof of life) and al-Rishawi was brought up. However, after Muath al-Kasasbeh's brutal execution was revealed on February 3, Jordan vowed to execute al-Rishawi, among other ISIL prisoners, in retaliation. Al-Rishawi was executed less than 24 hours later.

Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi – Failed Suicide Bomber

In the red corner we have Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (ISIS), and, in the blue corner we have Ayman al-Zawahiri (Al Qeada) and sooner or later they will be ready TO RRRRUMBLEEEE!

In the meantime there is a phoney war with ISIS taking a big lead when they created a caliphate and were raping Yazidi women on a industrial scale. This started to attract big media coverage and therefore more new recruits who were disillusioned with a liberal democracy and freedom of expression which did not respect their religion.

 Then Al Qeada made a spectacular comeback with 2,000 people killed in Nigeria and mayhem in Paris over a cartoon. However, there was confusion, because some of those in the Paris shooting mentioned ISIS, and, Boko Haram argued that they had a caliphate in Nigeria similar to ISIS!

Therefore, this led to the funding by Saudi Arabian benefactors to be be confused and although the general direction of blaming science, technology and the Declarations of Human Rights for the disrespecting of the vision of a Wahhabism world view was on track, it is clear that only one death cult can be in charge.

 So now the latest move is the fight over Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi a suicide bomber that failed to do the deed. Al Qeada have been looking to get their heroine out of jail for a long time but failed. ISIS have just made a move to get her free and are on the verge of getting a result. ISIS have Kenji Goto a Japanese journalist, and, Muath al-Kasaesbeh a Jordanian pilot and are looking to swap one or both for Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi. If they get the swap this will confirm that ISIS are better at terrorising their enemy than Al Qeada.

This battle is similar to the one that Soviet Russia and Moaist China had in Cambodia. Both were communist but both had different version of communism and carried out this disagreement in Cambodia with China supporting Khmer Rouge and Russia (Soviet Union) supporting Vietnam.

At the moment Sunni Saudi Arabia are supporting ISIS and Al Qeada, with Iran supporting Hezbollah.  However it is clear that there can only be one death cult so this is where the dominant two will have to fight it out and at the moment it looks like ISIS is winning that battle
