If you're not going to pay me, then why should I kill myself, that's what I'd like to know.

Report: No Iraqi funds lately for suicide bombers in Gaza


Due to the war in Iraq, families of Palestinian suicide bombers have not been receiving funds from Saddam Hussein's regime, Israel Radio reports.
The funds normally channeled through the Gaza Strip have not been arriving, the radio says. It gave no further information.
The last reported aid from Saddam to Palestinians killed in fighting with Israel arrived on March 20 the day after Operation Iraqi Freedom began. On that day more than $210,000 was distributed.
Over the last 30 months, Iraq has paid more than $35 million to the families of Palestinians killed in the conflict with Israel, including relatives of scores of suicide bombers as well as Palestinian civilians.
