#1 Not a good move!
These terrorists obviously want they and their families to the 3rd degree removed from the gene pool.

#2 Oh, dear, oh dear... Darwin Awards nominee, Middle Eastern Division?
Don't they remember what happened when a Russian diplomat (IIRC) was kidnapped in Lebanon in the mid 1980ies? I may be a little hazy on the precise details, but I think separation of certian body parts belonging to some close family connection of the kidnappers was involved.
Terribly crude... but terribly effective. Americans got kidnapped right and left, but everyone left the Russians very strictly alone.

Good memory you have Sgt Mom. Yes, they KGB kidnapped a local fellow (suspect) and when his wife begged for his return, he showed up in a bag on her door step... in itsy bitsy pieces. The Russian embassy had no problems following this fellow's return home.

#4 Difficult to procreate without certain body parts--seems like a two-fer to me.

#5 The body part was returned ... in his mouth.

I'm sure if they do this again, the MSM and Amesty International would be all over this. Probally blame it on us.

#7 I'd wager the kidnappers realized that picking up any sort of cash drop involved instant death and chose to just dispose of the ~~bodies~~ "evidence".

#12 My first thought on reading that Russian diplos had been killed track with those of Sgt. Mom above. But then I recalled that the old Russian Bear has yet to extract a pound of flesh for the murder of 150+ children in Beslan. The Russian Bear that some of us remember (are old enough to remember) no longer exists. The old Russian Bear can still double cross the USA with impunity, but it most certainly no longer inspires fear in the hearts and minds of the new age jihadi. Putin is a fool not to recognize the threat to Russia from Islam. He should have cast his lot with Bush in 2001. He didn't and Russia will pay dearly in due course.

#13 I don't think the Rooshins have the "moxy" they had back in the Good Old Days anymore....but then again, have things really changed over in Mockba?
