mirror.co.uk 1 December 2005 EXCLUSIVE: IRAQ FANATICS' KILL PILL Iraq drug makes rebel fanatics fearless Exclusive By Chris Hughes A DRUG which makes users feel superhuman is being taken by rebel fanatics before they launch attacks against UK troops in Iraq. The pill - filled with addictive stimulant methamphetamine - is given to insurgents so they have no fear of taking on heavily-armed Coalition forces. Now senior British officers fear the courage drug, which is known as a "pinky", is flooding Basra where it could help fuel a second armed uprising. Last night a senior Army source, who returned from Iraq two months ago, said there was a "big drugs trade" in Basra and feared leaders of different terrorists groups would hand out the pills to their followers. The insider added: "Members of Muqtadr el-Sadr's fanatical Mehdi Army who've taken it have been known to stand in front of US armoured vehicles and open fire almost oblivious to the tank's guns. "American officers think that suicide bombers may also be given pinkies to psyche them up before carrying out an attack." Methamphetamine - one of the chemicals in the courage drug - is related to amphetamine but the effects on the central nervous system are greater. Users feel a huge surge of energy and confidence 10 to 15 minutes after they have taken a dose. The precise contents of the pills is classified information. |
