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.

An example needs to be made.

"These "people" will do everything they can to disrupt the new Iraq. "

The new Iraq won't have its hands tied by US military laws when it comes time to dish out quick Iraqi justice to these "insurgents". I hope they kick the media out of the country while they are cleaning house.

Well, I can tell you that it would get me to the capital asking why we are playing nice with these jagoffs. They only respect violence and I am sure that we have the weapons to grant us a lot of respect if we were allowed to use them. I think we were too nice when we went in. Especially in "Saddam" areas. We should have flattened the place and broken the spirit of these people. It is hard to plant a roadside bomb, when there is no road.

My husband's grandmother in Germany during the war would be in a bomb shelter yelling prayers for the Americans to come, to the point that her husband was afraid someone would hear and report them. Their spirit was broken, but so was their city.

Your ranting and raving accomplishes nothing.

Nuts.

Here's a great biography of John J Pershing.

We seriously need to drop a MOAB. No one in that city is innocent in my opinion. It's going to be disappointing if this incident doesn't make us get a tougher with these animals. If it wasn't for the anti-America liberals in this country and around the world we would have already demolished Fallujah and would have probably saved American lives in doing so. I will send some E-mail's to politicians as usual even though I know it does absolutely no good. But there is nothing better for me to do at the moment so I might as well. Typing long worthless E-mail's at least relieves some stress:D

Looks like the Marines are sealing off the city

I agree, but the problem is, Bush wont use masssive force.
Which is why I said, if your going to fight a politically correct war, you might as well leave the Sunni triagle.

Thanks, Happy. More prayers and comments and anger here.

May God protect our troops and allies, and strengthen the American people, that they may see through - and stand up against - the clever schemes - both deeds and words - of our enemies (both foreign and domestic) this election year.

[Rummyfan]

These people are sick bast**ds! I hope our response is measured, yet lethal to the guilty parties!

[OXENinFLA]

GUN 'UM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

None of you have the force of will to do anything.

Bullshit. Speak for yourself. You don't know me or what I'm capable of.
Put a sock in it.

[petercooper]

Bad, sad day in Fallujah.
