Al-Qaeda-linked rebels apologise after cutting off head of wrong person (/fellow extremist)
Telegraph ^ | 11/14/13 | Richard Spencer

Militant Islamist rebels in Syria linked to al-Qaeda have asked for "understanding and forgiveness" for cutting off and putting on display the wrong man's head.

In a public appearance filmed and posted online, members of Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, one brandishing a knife, held up a bearded head before a crowd in Aleppo. They triumphantly described the execution of what they said was a member of an Iraqi Shia militia fighting for President Bashar al-Assad.

But the head was recognised from the video as originally belonging to a member of Ahrar al-Sham, a Sunni Islamist rebel group that often fights alongside ISIS though it does not share its al-Qaeda ideology.

Oops, we’re sorry. We didn’t know we were cutting off the head of a fellow head-chopper. We meant to do that to someone innocent.

Not to worry, Mary Landrieu is proposing a bill that will force Al-Queda to re-attach this guy’s head. He’ll be fine.

Hey wait a minute... didn’t John Kerry and John McCain tell us that the Syrian rebels aren’t terrorists or have links to al-Qaeda? While we know one is an outright liar, we also know the other is just plain stupid.

The killer’s buddies are busy shaving their off their beards, so another mistake won’t happen. Maybe he needs new glasses. With friends like that, they’re all gonna lose their heads.

Obama has said,” If you like your head, you can keep
your head, unless of course there’s a cancellation.”
