Ghastly barbaric murder of four foreigners in Falluja Iraq
âHate Attack On Foreignersâ In Iraq
The level of hatred against western nationals in Iraq was highlighted when several foreigners were reportedly killed, burned, mutilated and dragged through the streets of Fallujah.The foreigners were killed after gunmen opened fire on two vehicles in the town, west of Baghdad, witnesses said. The insurgents then reportedly set the vehicles on fire, burning the passengers. TV pictures showed a crowd of cheering Iraqis kicking and stamping one of the charred bodies and dragging another blackened body down the road by its feet. The footage showed at least three people lying dead, while some witnesses said four were killed. Witnesses said the attackers were seen dancing around the car and making the victory sign. They said the cars were four-wheel drives, similar to those used by members of the US-led occupation authorities in Iraq.
The attack comes as five Coalition soldiers were killed in a bomb attack, also west of Baghdad. A military spokesman said the soldiers were driving a car in al-Anbar province when they hit a bomb. The nationality of the dead soldiers is not yet known, but the vast majority of troops operating in the region are US Marines. The al-Anbar province, which includes the restive "Sunni triangle" towns of Falluja and Ramadi, have been a focus of anti-American attacks in the past year.
Fotos
The Fotos link leads to a series of pictures showing the incident. If I was in charge, which thankfully for the perps involved I'm not, I'd track down every person identifiable in those pictures. After extracting the names of people involved in the incident but not in the pix, I'd kill them.
The same people conducting this sort of festivity are the ones who were ruling Iraq before we got there. Their behavior is the same. They're still the enemy. They're still savages. |
