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.

My thought exactly...time to sniff the wind and drop a load...

I think a lot of us in here could come up with a plan that would solve the problem if we didn't care about the reaction of the liberals in this country or world opinion. Drop a lot of bombs and capture or kill anyone who makes any threats against the U.S. occupation or who just say they don't support it. But if we did this there would be outrage. Get every Iraqi on that Video and give them a death sentence. Make examples of those idiots for others to see. The Military would be a lot more effective if it didn't have to worry about World opinion. But it does have to worry about that because it could cause all kinds of problems.


We should round up every scumbag on that Video and give them a public hanging in the middle of Fallujah. That's something they would understand.

[The Mayor]

at least relieves some stress:D

sometimes that is needed!

[bwteim]

Qu'est-ce que c'est?

------ Follow up...to above:

French terror alert level raised. In light of the Madrid bombing, France has raised their terror alert level from run to hide.

The only two higher levels in France are surrender and collaborate!

[Atlantic Friend]

Yes, yes, ask Carlos or Khaled Kelkal...

[BunnySlippers]

Unreal. Revenge.

Fallujah. Daisy cutter.

'Nuff said.

Blackhawk down..somolia again..unlike then, we have now a President with a backbone.

The evil these men do. They abuse their women and brain wash their children. They sow hatred and use it to keep their power over the majority. These are the smallest men on the planet, these hate-filled little men who are only brave in packs, and I wish someday their people, especially their women, would rise up and hang them from lamposts with piano wire ala Mussolini. Theirs is a society wholly build on creating them exploiting suffering.

[Jeff Head]

IMHO, in Fallujah and elsewhere in the Sunni triangle where similar sentiments remain (BTW, this is the vast minority of Iraqis IMHO), it is time for martial law, severe crackdown and rounding up of any suspected belligerents, internment, interogation, execution of any who commit these type of atrocities and a complete pacification of those areas...it is past due.

[B4Ranch]

Bring back NAPALM!

[IGOTMINE]

The Marines are operating in Fallujah now, I think. (No doubt they have those other "fellows" in the area as well.)

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

"Which is why I said, if your going to fight a politically correct war, you might as well leave the Sunni triagle."

I doubt The United States will ever fight a war that ISN'T politically correct to some degree in this day and age. The only exception I can think of is if we are in a major war like World war 3 and our very survival as a nation is at stake. Other wise we will worry about making ignorant liberals here and in Europe mad at us. While the liberals pander to terrorist we pander to the liberals.

[olde north church]

What's unfortunate is, you a quite possible correct.

[Naspino]

All but one was shot, their bodies dumped into the grave, and the hog guts dumped atop the bodies. The lone survivor was allowed to escape back to the terrorist camp and tell his brethren what happened to the others. This brought a stop to terrorism in the Philippines for the next 50 years.

In my best Anchor Loser voice, "Yes, but at *what* price?"

[RedEyeJack]

Dead men walking... out of nowhere your head explodes like a watermelon... and no one says a thing...

Payback is a MF'er

"I am happy to see this. The Americans are occupying us so this is what will happen," said Mohammad, 12, looking on.

I ask why are we still helping these demons! I wish we would leave who gives a rat’s ass about a democracy for these animals. I have such a pit in my stomach especially now if they dragged a solider's body in the street, the media will now go non stop and blame Bush. I don't even watch the news anymore it is so bad for Bush.

[OXENinFLA]

These F'ers need a bullet to the head!

Enraged Iraqis in this hotbed of anti-Americanism killed four foreigners Wednesday, including at least one U.S. national, took the charred bodies from a burning SUV, dragged them through the streets, and hung them from the bridge.

Cut off Fallujah's food, water, and power. Send in the Kurds.
