Japanese civilian detainees are seen at an undisclosed location in this image made from video released Thursday, April 8, 2004. The captives were identified as Noriaki Imai, Soichiro Koriyana and Nahoko Takato. Eight South Koreans and three Japanese were kidnapped Thursday by insurgents in Iraq (news - web sites), and captors armed with automatic rifles and swords threatened to burn the Japanese alive if Tokyo did not withdraw from the U.S.-led coalition. Associated Press Television News obtained a copy of a full tape, which shows four armed, masked men pointing knives and swords at the captives' chests and throats. (AP Photo/APTN)

Arab television Al Jazeera aired a video on April 8, 2004 showing three Japanese, including one woman, it said were taken hostage by an Iraqi group vowing to kill them if Japan does not leave Iraq (news - web sites). The television said a statement by the hitherto unknown Iraqi group called Saraya al-Mujahideen had given Japan three days from the airing of the video to withdraw its troops from Iraq before it killed the hostages. Passports shown on the video gave the woman's name as Takato Nahoko (C) and the two men as Noriaki Imai (L) and Soichiro Koriyama. At least one of them had a press identification card.

Ironic, eh! The nations with the biggest home fronts protesting and hating Bush seem to be the ones sustaining the biggest A$$ kickings from Al Qaeda!

You'd think they'd figure that out.

"What if they gave a war and nobody came? Then the war will come to you!"

[bmwcyle]

AMEN

[SierraWasp]

Well... If they actually do "burn them alive," maybe they should do it LIVE on Al Jazzed-Up TV to show the world once again what Demonic Devils they are, as most of the world seems to have forgotton the burning bodies jumping from the WTC!!!

It would serve to remind who "The Great Satan," REALLY IS!!!

[Griffon76]

Why is it the "courageous" Mujahadeen NEVER show their faces. Such courage by the fighters for Allah. You would think that having their God supporting them they would have no fear of showing their faces. Pathetic!

[Diogenesis]

GOTTA SEE THIS-War for Enduring Freedom 4/8/04 - Fallujah, Abu Ghraib, Sadr City, Nasiriyah, Kirkuk, Mosul, Najaf

[BrooklynGOP]

Oh, wow! What brave warriors of Allah!

[oyez]

The Mujahadeen is a low life form, deserving extermination.

[Polyxene]

This is the religion of peace???? NOT!!

[blanknoone]

The question becomes, do the Japanese still have any fight in them, or is it gone? I know how the WWII Japanese would have reacted to this affront; I am not sure about modern Japan. I have hope, but not confidence. Their martial will, like Europe's, has been sapped by sleeping comfortably under America's security blanket.

[Ashamed Canadian]

It's a religion of peace, you know.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Oh, wow! What brave warriors of Allah!

It is time for us to launch "Operation Final Sword".

More vivid proof that every Islamofascist and their Islamodumbokazi must be killed.

A dead Islamofascist or Islamodumbokazi will never harm nor kill another innocent person.

That was proved during and after WWII. There was not a single incidence of a dead Nazi or dead Imperial Japanese Thug harming anyone after they stopped breathing.

[MJM59]

My dog is more civilized than these so called "people."

[Tax Government]

If Al Jazeera is able to photograph this, then they are allied with the combatants and should be declared a combatant organization also.

[astounded]

Every American needs to recall the words of the democrat candidate for the office of President of the US - John F. Kerry - who referred to the leader of these muslim vermin as a "legitimate voice" of the people. This phrase should be publicized in conjunction with these photos, to demonstrate what we are up against over there and at home. A vote for Kerry is a vote for terrorism on our soil. God save us if GWB loses the election.

Rather than target Al-Jazeera...their reporters should be bugged and closely tracked. They can lead us to more and bigger enemies regularly. Or to put it in fishing terms, make them a Judas fish. (A Judas fish is when you catch a fish and attach a float or balloon to it and quickly let it go...it returns to its school and you can easily follow the whole school)
