Pink Pills Fueling Iraqi Insurgency?
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.
