Islamic Serial Killer Zarqawi Claims 11 Beheadings
A statement attributed to Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi's militant group claims it has beheaded 11 members of the Iraqi police and national guard. "Today alone, your brethren were able to decapitate 11 apostates ... affiliated to the so-called national guard and police force," said the statement attributed to the military wing of the Tawhid wal Jihad (Unity and Holy War) group. The authenticity of the statement which was posted on an Islamist website could not be confirmed and the claim has not been verified. The statement did not give details, but a headline introducing it said the group had "killed 11 apostates" on Baghdad's Haifa street, the site of frequent clashes between US forces and insurgents. Zarqawi is blamed for some of the deadliest bombings in Iraq and for beheading foreign hostages and Iraqis accused of collaborating with US-led forces. He has a $US25 million bounty on his head. The US military in Iraq has denied reports that he has been detained. A spokesman in Baghdad said he had heard the reports, but did not believe they were true. Posted by: Mark Espinola 2004-10-17 |
