Iraq-Jordan
New Hostages Taken
2004-07-21
Edited
A militant group said Wednesday it had taken six more hostages — three Indians, two Kenyans and an Egyptian — and would behead them if their countries did not immediately announce the withdrawal of their citizens from Iraq. In a statement given to The Associated Press, the group, calling itself "The Holders of Our Own Dicks the Black Banners," said it had abducted the six truckers and would behead one of them every 72 hours starting at 8 p.m. (noon EDT) Wednesday if their nations did not pull out of Iraq and the company they work for did not close its branch here. None of the countries are part of the 160,000-member coalition force in Iraq.
Hey Abu, let's force those Kenyan soldiers out of Iraq.
What, there aren't any? Arrgh, what do we do with these hostages?
Maybe we could trade them for a couple of draft picks and a hostage to be named later.

#5  Where is Tom (the man who thought the Philippines pulling out to save a man's life was noble)? Tom, get ready to reset that win-win scoreboard. These are the repercussions of the Philippines and Spain's actions.

#4  They should reserve a less brutal method of homocide for nationals of states not partitipating in the coalition - maybe asphixiation. If they don't, the terrorists are actually encouraging Kenya to send troops aren't they? :-)

#3  Maybe the Phillipines can return, pull out again and pay 6 bills for the pleasure. They seemed to enjoy it so much last time.

Brought to you by Spain and the Philippines. Please, send them your personal thanks.
