Zarqawi group demands Japan pull out of Iraq

2004-07-20

A group headed by suspected top Al-Qaeda leader Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi demanded Japan withdraw its troops from Iraq or face attack, in a statement posted on an Islamist website.

Hostage taking in 5, 4, 3...

"Do it as the Philippines did," said the statement addressed to the Japanese government and signed the "Khalid ibn Al-Walid Brigade, military wing of Tawhid wa al-Jihad (Unification and Holy War)". The Philippines this week withdrew its 51-strong contingent from Iraq to save the life of a Filipino hostage, who was released Tuesday. "We never forgive anyone who supports Iraq, where you came not to help the Iraqi people but to protect the Americans. You will know the same fate as the Americans and others" killed in Iraq, said the message posted on http://www.ansarnet.ws/vb/.

Thanks alot, Gloria.

#3 Lets hope that the Japanese remember
something of their Samarai past.

Last I checked (Nanjing) they proved that they
can butcher a populace better than
the mullahs. I wonder if they'll use the idjits
who take Japanese citizens hostage for bayonet practice.
