israelinsider: security: Hamas prefers "bad girls" to be bombers: "Female bomber Reem al-Reyashi, who blew herself up last Wednesday at the Erez Crossing, killing four Israelis, was induced to carry out the suicide attack as a punishment for cheating on her husband.
A few hours after the suicide attack the Hamas released the videotape of the 22 year old mother of two. In her last statement, with a beatific smile on her face, a rifle in one hand and a Koran in the other, al-Reyashi proudly proclaimed that 'I always wanted to be the first woman who sacrifices her life for Allah. My joy will be complete when my body parts fly in all directions.' She said her fondest wish was to 'knock on the doors of heaven with Zionist skulls.'
However, information regarding the circumstances that led al-Reyashi to carry out her attack, based on Israeli security sources originally disclosed by Yediot Ahronot, suggests a very different motivation: not anti-Zionist motivation or Islamic fervor but a fatal love triangle. She apparently became involved in an extramarital affair with a Hamas man. When her husband, a wealthy owner of a battery factory, found out, he reached an arrangement to have her sent on the suicide mission. She was compelled to sacrifice herself to clear her name and the 'honor' of her family. The husband denied the charge, saying it was a fabrication of Israeli security services to defame Arab women and Islam. "
