Iraqi police take down 'hostage house' in Kirkuk
2004-10-18
Iraqi Police Service officers from the Meghdad Police Department in Kirkuk in Northern Iraq seized seven suspected kidnappers, Tuesday, from a believed hostage house after intercepting two kidnap victims fleeing from four armed men in the city. Officers moved to the home in the Wahid Huzayray area after questioning the victims and calling for backup. A single individual was detained in the initial search and interrogated, leading officers to a second suspect in the Arafa neighborhood of Kirkuk. Officers watched over the home and nabbed five additional individuals later returning to the home. In the operation police also seized five AK-47s with ammunition, one Egyptian grenade, various knives, Iraqi National Guard and U.S. Army desert combat uniforms, multiple currencies and bank checks, and two bottles of Ketamine — a rapid acting disassociative anesthetic similar to phencyclidine (PCP) used to subdue victims.

#15  Mrs. D, I am Emily, and thanks for the birthday wishes. Just had a delightful tapas dinner with 20 friends. Give my best to Mr. Davis, we haven't seen him in a while. :-)

#13   I've been thinking that the reason you don't see more Italian-style resistance is that they dope the poor bastards up before hacking off their heads.

Perhaps this is true, but they definitely aren't doping them up with Ketamine when they shoot the actual snuff film. A person doped with ketamine is in no condition to do anything, much less read a statement to the camera before the Zarqawi butter-knife is applied.

Perhaps they use the ketamine when trasnporting their victims between what hopefully appears to be becoming not-so-safe houses.

#10  Ketamine + torture + jihadi maniacs + dull knives.

Actually, I've been thinking that the reason you don't see more Italian-style resistance is that they dope the poor bastards up before hacking off their heads. Maybe this theory falls under the category of "bloody obvious", but I don't believe I've seen it mentioned in the media.

#9  Ketamine! That is nothing but torture on top of torture. It is a tranquilizer, but not nothing like what you would associate with tranquil.

Ketamine + torture + jihadi maniacs + dull knives. Your worst vision of Natural Born Killers psycho nightmare is nothing compared to what they are obviously putting these poor "infidels" through.

Off with their fucking worthless piece of pig shit jihadi heads, wrap them in bacon and bury them in the latrine.

#8   Iraqi National Guard and U.S. Army desert combat uniforms

That would explain how they got around with the captives. Who's going to question the "good guys" about kidnappings?

#7  Now some other-than-innocent heads need to roll!

Off with their heads, butter-knife style please!
