CIA bomber’s wife says war must go on against US

ISTANBUL — 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 Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison and the U.S.-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Defne Bayrak, the wife of bomber Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal 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 Dec. 30 in what he regarded as a holy war against the U.S.

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 Laden the Che Guevera of the East.”
