here is information i haven't come across before. according to the asia times:
According to sources in the Binori madrassa of Karachi in Pakistan, most of the suicide blasts in Iraq have been carried out by Chechen members of the IIF, particularly of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LET).
There has recently been an infiltration of two fresh groups with a total strength of about 70 members, most of them Arab nationals of Chechen ancestry, into Iraq from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, taking the total number of foreign jihadis operating in Iraq to about 270 to 320. Funds are being collected in the streets, mosques and madrassas of Pakistan by the LET and other Pakistani components of the IIF to support the families of 30 jihadis who, according to them, martyred themselves by volunteering for suicide missions in Iraq. It is not clear whether this 30 formed part of the above-mentioned figure.
