Four 'foreign nationals' gunned down in Iraq
31/03/2004 - 10:18:38 AM

At least four people, thought to be foreign nationals, were killed when their vehicles came under fire in the Iraqi town of Fallujah today.

Eye witnesses said angry crowds dragged the bodies through the streets, dismembered them and hanged some of the mutilated corpses.

The attack happened at about the same time as a bomb exploded under a US military in the Fallujah region, killing five soldiers.

It was not known whether the two incidents were related.

The gunmen attacked the civilians as they drove by in two civilian 4x4 cars in Fallujah.

The occupants of the cars were killed and their vehicles were set on fire.

Footage from Associated Press Television News showed a charred body of one of the dead men, and the vehicles in flames nearby. Some of the men were wearing flak jackets, said Safa Mohammedi, a resident.

Another resident, Abdul Aziz Mohammed, said angry crowds dragged the bodies through the streets, dismembered them and hanged some of the mutilated corpses.

“The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like slaughtered sheep,” Mohammed said. “I saw it myself.”

One resident displayed what appeared to be dog-type tags taken from one body. Residents also said there were weapons in the targeted cars.

The explosive device that killed the American soldiers blew up when their vehicle ran over it in the Fallujah area, US Army Colonel Jill Morgenthaler said in Baghdad.

5 US troops also died today from a roadside bomb under their vehicle.

Animals!!!!

Nope, they are well below what any sane person would consider an animal to be. They remind me of vermin and they need to be exterminated.

Or, we could get them rounded up, and in honor of their favorite dictator, we could bring back the plastic shredder. These "people" will do everything they can to disrupt the new Iraq. We could turn the Sunni triangle into something like the Bermuda triangle. No one knows what happens to people when they go in, but they don't come back out.

I really have to stop myself from asking why this town is still in existence.

Because your government cares nothing about its people. When are all of you going to wake up? You think the Democrats care about you? Do you think the Republicans care about you? Do you think any political party cares about you? LOL. Sheeple. Not one individual in leadership in this nation has the fortitude to make and effect a decision on how to get some of this stopped. Not one.

[bwteim]

Not me - this time last year, no - this time now, yes. Give them a few hours notice.

The more I see things like this, the more I am convinced that what Islam calls Allah is not our God, but satan!

[Triple Word Score]

We're wanting to move out and let them govern themselves.

STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID

And Drudge has that picture up of a grinning set of President Bushes under that headline, and a Kerry concerned about gas prices....don't think he's not perfectly aware of what the pictures say. It's not an accident that a scowling, unflattering picture of Condi has dominated the news about the Bush administration for the past week, either. The media wants us to think that the President is not focused on what is happening to our troops.

I'm waiting for a decisive response to this, and I hope it will be coming. That town is declaring itself a war zone, so let's give them what they're asking.

[laconic]

If only we'd turned this over to the UN or NATO, none of this would have happened, of course, given the great respect such an educated mob has for UN and NATO.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Maybe we should find those WMDs and use them on these guys.

"Television pictures showed one incinerated body being kicked and stamped on by a member of the jubilant crowd"

We got pictures of them? Lets get them and take them for a ride in the desert one by one. Some times I think Black Jack Pershings method of handling these fanatics was correct.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

None of you have the force of will to do anything. What are you going to do? Post your anger here? Who cares? Who reads this? You will not say a word to any Muslim who lives in the U.S. because you are afraid. You will not demand that Muslims be deported because you are afraid. You will not demand that your government do something because you are AFRAID. You WILL DO NOTHING and you know it. How many pictures must you be shown of your own people being burned, mutilated and their corpses dishonored? You wouldn't do anything if were your women and children being treated that way. You are all afraid.

[verity]

Your solution?

[olde north church]

Ya' know, they incinerated 50,000 Dresden residents in WW2 without batting an eye, KNOWING what it would do to the enemy resistance.
They want to see a "Great Satan", I say show them the Fires of Hell.
Better still, enact the Law of the Ban, slaughter all the people within it's walls, the animals, leave all spoils and let that be the sacrifice to God.
The application of extreme pressure on a set of balls can accomplish more than gaining a thousand sets of hearts and minds. ONC

It is time for this MOAB to be dropped on the triangle!

Prayers for the victims and their families. I don't know how a family could handle knowing what their husbands went through both when they died and what happened to them afterward.

[ElisabethInCincy]

This is beyond Barbaric its DEMONIC... I feel sick and so grieved.. Typical Islam !!!!!!!!!!! :(

[dennisw]

I let off some steam same as you just did. I hope the photos are seen widely showing the depths some Islamics will plunge too. I hope they anger Americans and push them from wimp to warrior mentality

[pdbeaches]

True.... It's the first thing that came to mind after reading such a disturbing article.
