"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
Iran seeks swap of Brits for suicide attackers
Report says 40 Revolutionary Guard 'volunteers' held by UK
Iran apprehended British military personnel and Navy vessels earlier this week in order to secure release of 40 "suicide operations volunteers" held by the UK, according to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard source.
The source told the London Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that the British Army command in Iraq received the demand from the Revolutionary Guard, reported the Middle East Media Research Institute.
According to the source, the content of the message was very simple: "Release our comrades, whom you are holding, and we will release your soldiers."
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
Could you repost that on the new thread?
Thanks for the Philly update!
My nerves got the best of me, and I departed.
"Independence Mall is expected to be the biggest attraction, with Afghan President Hamid Karzi accepting the Liberty Medal. And there is still a chance President Bush could be in town, as well."
When Bush was in town in January, he spoke briefly to a group of Republicans meeting at a major hotel. Several of these visitors became ill. The next day, a company from Jersey held a convention in the same hotel.
69 of these people had to be taken to area emergency rooms for treatment of violent gastrointenstinal symptoms. MANY others became ill as well- but hung on in the hotel or went home.
There was no followup on what caused these illnesses.
This particular hotel is quite near City Hall. It is on Market St. as you head toward Pennsylvania Station, the Gallery Mall, and the like.
It has an excellent reputation not only for food, but for cleanliness.
I hope so! (re:- Philly remaining safe over the holidays)
Don't mean to be Captain Obvious here, but I assume the U.S. Government monitors these Islamic chat rooms?
Hi,
What happened to the days between the second and the tenth? I was in Cape Cod for a week and I am just catching up. Kerry is President in Cape Cod; I did not see even a picture of Bush all week or one news story. Between Kerry and the Redsox I just wanted to kill myself. Can't wait for next year's Cape Vacation!
