Video shows Russian hostages killed

Sun Jun 25, 2006 11:29am ET

DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iraqi al Qaeda-led group said on Sunday it had killed four Russian embassy staff it had taken hostage, according to a statement posted on the Internet.

The statement said the posting included footage of the "execution". The group had demanded that Russia withdraw its troops from Chechnya and release all Muslim prisoners.

The Web posting showed video footage of the killing of two men it said were Russian hostages and the beheaded body of a third man.

It showed two militants beheading one of the men and the shooting of a second, after showing four men speaking in Russian in video statements dated June 13, 2006.

In Moscow, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman could not immediately confirm the report of the deaths.

The four embassy staff were kidnapped and a fifth was killed when gunmen blocked their vehicle in Baghdad on June 3.

"This is the video for carrying out God's ruling against the Russian diplomats...in revenge for our brothers and sisters for the torture and killing they received at the hands of the infidel Russian government," a statement by the Mujahideen Shura Council said.

The al-Qaeda-led Council said in an Internet posting last week it was holding the four Russians and had decided to kill them after Moscow failed to meet its demands.

"Murdered" would be the correct term, not 'executed'.

CNN just makes me want to puke.

Yes, American voters, vote for the Democrat Party and you and your children will end up like our brave beheaded soldiers and the murdered/slaughtered Russians. If you don't think that the Democrat Party is actively encouraging, abetting and aiding our enemies, you are all fools of the highest order!!! End of story!!!

God Bless and keep these poor men and comfort their devastated families.

Prayers for the families of the victims of Muslim terror.

I am sorry to hear this. Terrorists don't go by international rules regarding diplomats. Sad that much of Europe thinks we're the biggest threat to world peace.

Prayers for the families.

Not to worry.....

I'm sure the presstitutes, Democrats, CAIR, Moderate Muslims and peace loving sheetheads around the world will protest this PRE-MEDITATED COLD BLOODED MURDER OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS with the same gusto as they do when it is "innocent Arabs" getting killed in any scenario..

Calling Murtha, calling Murtha -- do you copy asshole?

Sure they will.....

Muslims and Democrats never fail to function at the most despicable levels imaginable.. Muslims and Democrats are making themselves easy to despise...

Muslims should remember - that alot of moderate and innocent Germans and Japanese died when WE had to come and kill the lunatics in their midst..

They should realize - it's easier on them if THEY do it.

Semper Fi

[PISANO]

Nah....don't think so!!

"We need to drum up support to face the criminals and the terrorists to reactivate our economy by creating jobs, and giving opportunities and providing services to the people so to show everyone that we are serious in our commitment to serve our nation," al-Maliki said. The prime minister's plan, which he presented to parliament, stipulates amnesty will be granted to detainees who "have not committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against Iraqis and acts of violence."

If this is true (hard to tell from the MSM), WTF is going on here? I know it's their country, but do they want to succeed or perish in flames?

[spanalot]

Reap as you sow - The russians have been fomenting instability in the middle east for 70 years and this is their just reward.

[thinking]

Well....as they say: let the games begin....I feel great sorrow, for those Muslims, they will be hit with a midnight raid, the likes of which they could never imagine....this marks a turning point over there...

[Democratshavenobrains]

The Russians still think its 1978 and America is their biggest enemry. Its like they are blind to the advancing Muslim and Chinese hordes.

POSTED ON FRIDAY IN BREAKING NEWS CNN: Kidnapped Russian Diplomats in Iraq Have Been Executed

[redgolum]

Not a good idea to make the bear mad when you are already fighting the US. Russia has been playing realpolitik games lately, but this might make them a bit more likely to take more aggressive action.
