Italian Hostages Killed?
2004-09-23
Two Islamic groups in Iraq claim to have murdered two Italian women kidnapped in Baghdad last week. In the first instance, a group called the Jihad Organisation said it had "slaughtered" aid workers Simona Pari and Simona Torretta, both 29. Another group, Supporters of al-Zawahri, then claimed to have killed the pair. The duo had been working for an Italian charity called Un Ponte Per on water projects and building schools. The charity released a video showing the pair working and saying they had helped thousands of Iraqi children in a bid to secure their release. In an internet statement the the Jihad Organisation said the pair were killed after Italy failed to pull its 3,000 troops out of Iraq. There was no word on two Iraqi aid workers - a man and a woman - who were kidnapped at the same time. [snip]

#4  What if we change the focus from terrorists or insurgents and say something like...Iraqi Citizens of Falluja, or Baghdad, or Najaf Behead American

Since I keep hearing that the Iraqi on the street is against these beheadings...let's see if they can get up enough courage to identify where the real bastards are. My understanding of this last beheading was that it was conducted in broad daylight, with the windows open and the screaming could be heard throughout the neighborhood.

Might work.

#2  With the horrors of Krystalnacht in mind, and God forbid, but sooner or later a Mosque is going to bre torched - Nepalese style. Oh, and that'll be our fault as well.
