Kidnappers holding a seven-year-old Lebanese boy have threatened to behead him if they do not receive £38,000 (€54,592) by Saturday, his father said today.
“We’re a poor family and I love Iraq,” said Abdel-Ghani Hamad. “I’m now selling the stuff in my house just to get by.”
Earlier this month, gunmen abducted his son Mohammed on his way home from school in Diyala province, east of the Iraqi capital, and initially demanded £82,000 (€117,833) for his release, the father said.
Lebanese Foreign Ministry officials have said its embassy in Baghdad was working with Iraqis to secure the boy’s release.
The father said the kidnappers also asked him to sell his belongings and leave Iraq. He refused to say how he learned of their demands, fearing for his son’s life.
He said Mohammed was a smart boy, who loved chess and computers.
The senior Hamad said he has been living in Iraq for 32 years. He owns an orchard and raises chicken, he said, adding his business wasn’t doing well.
“I ask the kind people to call on the kidnappers to release my son,” Hamad said.
What else would you expect from people who worship the Devil?
“We’re a poor family and I love Iraq,”
Hard to look at but that is what I was thinking also. Remember Beslan!!!!!
Oh Travis!
Remember now, as our fearless wannabe leader J F'n K says, "...they're just a nuisance..."
Personally, as long as the there is one terrorist left on this planet it still justifies a war on terrorism.
After all, a rose by any other name... is still a f'n rose.
Pray to a glowin' crater - LOL!
I'd like to see dozens of glowing craters; Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc. We wouldn't hear a word out of 'em for the next dozen centuries. As a world religion it would go into a very steep decline - practiced only by a few nomadic tribes.
The freaks of the pathetic....
I think when the black moon-god rock is craterized, the entire insane murder cult will evaporate.
I am not sure if this is a true story, but why would it surprise anyone that these scumbags would pick on children. These are the same people who kidnap and behead innocent contractors who are trying to rebuild their country. The same animals who kidnap and threaten to behead an innocent woman who has dedicated 20 years to the betterment of the people of Iraq. These are the same devils who steer explosive ladden vehicles into children being given candy by American soldiers.
I DON'T PUT ANYTHING PAST THESE PEOPLE! THEY ARE HUMAN GARBAGE THAT HAVE TO ROUTED OUT AND ELIMINATED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!
The Dems are wondering why they are losing the security mom vote.
Bush would win in a landslide if TV stations replayed the film from the World Trade Center attack, the Beslan massacre, and the viscious slow beheadings.
Somehow all other issues pale in front of this.
"The same animals who kidnap and threaten to behead an innocent woman who has dedicated 20 years to the betterment of the people of Iraq."
What's the latest on her?
I agree, they should replay the footage from September 11th.
yeah and if these barbarians do it, you can bet they wouldn't have the guts to tape it because GW would immediately get re-elected and pound the crap out of them.
Upper left hand corner of Islamic Map -- Hey! I just got me a blessing for reprinting it!!
And...if that doesn't turn some heads nothing will.
This is as high as they get.
There is no bottom to human depravity.
"That'll save 'em!"
That's Allah's problem.
"It's a scam, the dad is in on it and they are just trying to get some money."
How do you know?
Oh, I must have been confused, I thought you wanted to help these innocent people. Or were outraged over the brutalization of them.
It never occurred to me that killing all the victims would save them from being victims. My bad.
