Iraq captors threaten to kill hostages |
2005-12-03 |
Aljazeera has aired a new videotape in which kidnappers of four Christian peace activists in Iraq have threatened to kill their hostages unless all prisoners in US and Iraqi detention centres are released. The captors gave the two governments until 8 December to meet their demands, Aljazeera quoted a statement delivered with the tape aired on Friday. Two Canadians, one American and a Briton are being held. The Canadians were shown eating from plates of what appeared to be Arabic sweets. The Briton and American hostages were shown talking to the camera but no sound was transmitted. The two were calling on the US and British governments to withdraw from Iraq, Aljazeera said, quoting the kidnappers' statement. |

#8 I'm all for the Russians rescuing these CPT asshats. Hope they'll use that gas they used in that Moscow theater ... very lethal on the terrs and unfortunately, on the hostages as well. |

#6 don't risk a single scratch on one of our GI's to "rescue" this trash. Sometimes you get consequences for your actions. |

#5 The longer they stay alive the more it looks to be another "catch-and-release" scam, like that commie Italian reporter... hope I'm wrong, bet I'm not |

#3 #2: As traitorious and stupid as these people were, I don't have any wish to see them die. I do, this particular brand of stupidity needs to be shown that stupidity has dire consequences, otherwise the stupidity only grows unchecked. |

#2 As traitorious and stupid as these people were, I don't have any wish to see them die. I certainly hope our side can put together a rescue of some sort, or that the Islamists are bluffing. |
