| One American clergy was stabbed in Algiers |
| 2005-01-22 |
| An unidentified man stabbed a American Christian clergy in the downtown of Algiers, while the security forces started plenary investigations to know the implications of the incident. The security and diplomatic source on Thursday did not rule out that behind the incident are reasons pertinent to operations of what it called Islamic rebels, noting that the injured American clergy Hug Johnson, the patron of the Algerian Protestant Church, is currently undergoing surgery operation to treat the consequences of the stab. |

| #2 fartwa, my brother-in-law was a Marine in the first Gulf War. They captured a company sized bunch of Iraqis who had all had their achilles tendons cut by their commanding officer so they couldn't run away. Then the officers all fled. He said his unit was not prepared for the barbarism they encountered there. |

| #1 cut the prisoners Achilles tendons and stake them to a single spot for years, sound barbaric, welcome to Afghanistan..just one of many imprisonment practices reborn by the Mujahideen. |
