Iraqi Insurgents "Kill" Bulgarian Hostage
Sofia News Agency ^ | July 13, 2004

Posted on 07/13/2004 2:30:38 PM PDT by tarator

An Iraqi insurgents group executed one of the Bulgarian hostages four days after the 24-hour deadline elapsed last Friday.

According to Al-Jazeera reports, the insurgents killed Georgi Lazov. The militants threaten to also execute the other Bulgarian Ivaylo Kepov within 24 hours unless all female prisoners are released in Iraq.

A video footage aired by Arabic Al-Jazeera channel at 11 p.m. on Tuesday showed three men dressed in black with their faces covered with masks. In front of them a man looking like Lazov was kneeling with a scarf hiding his face. The hostage wore the same bright orange garment that other hostages used to wear when they were slain.

The news for the kidnapping of the two Bulgarians - Ivaylo Kepov from the town of Boboshevo and Georgi Lazov from the town of Blagoevgrad - last Friday. The two Bulgarians were reportedly held captives near the northern town of Mosul. They were working for a haulier company with headquarters in Blagoevrgad, Western Bulgaria.

The militants said they would kill the Bulgarians unless the US military did not release all Iraqi detainees within 24 hours considered from July 15. The deadline given by the insurgents expired at 11 p.m. Bulgarian time last Friday.

When will they stop calling these bastards "insurgents"? They're not insurgents; they're killers. Pure and simple. They will rot in hell.

I wouldn't sit still and allow these animals to use me in their death cult video. They'd have to kill me as I fought them. When will we stop pussyfooting around and instead do what Israel does???

What's with the scare quotes for "kill?"

Weird.

I think tarator added them to highlight the subtle bias in the paper's headline: to "kill" is within the realm of justifiable homocide; to "murder" is an unjustifiable offense.

Maybe it's like Barbara Boxer calling the 3-11 attacks in Madrid a "rail accident?"

Insurgents? C'mon. These people criminals. You know, like John Dillinger. That kind of criminal. Like Sammy the Bull. Criminals. Insurgents should be stricken from the lexicon.

Al-Jazeera satellite television said it had received a video of the beheading of one of the two men.

Notice how the liberal media is now refusing to report that this hostage was beheaded?

These busters must be caught as soon as it is possible. The they should be beheaded - live transmission on CNN, BBC and other western TV channels.

I wish we could change the words "kill" and "execute" to "murder." It would be more accurate.

The liberal media have decided that beheading by butcher knife is now deemed an execution.

Time to knock Al-Jazeera off the air. It only serves as a propaganda outlet.

The headline is not mine. I copied it from Sofia News Agency's website.

I've been thinking the exact same thing. I'm not a terribly brave person, but if these sickos dress me in an orange jumpsuit, I'm fighting back with everything I have. So they shoot me or stab me to death. I'm dying either way and I'd rather not die by having my head sawed off while kneeling on the floor for their snuff video.

The best way to end terrorism is to kill terrorists.
