Cab Hazards

Driving a cab in Sydney, or pretty much anywhere in the world is generally hazardous. Until you hear the tales of an Iraqi cab driver,

Taxi driver Ali Haydar, 36, has to be careful about choosing his customers. Two of his fellow drivers were killed recently when suicide bombers used their cabs to get close to their intended targets and detonate themselves.

It's the sort of environment where a driver needs that extra bit of intuition, how to identify a suicide bomber, early,

"Once a guy got into my car and asked me to drive him around the city...I asked him what was wrong and he simply told me that he was looking for a place to explode".

Err, full marks for honesty, allowing Ali to get out and run. Great story, read it all.
