Body of Caucasian woman with blonde hair found in Fallujah: marines
FALLUJAH, Iraq (AFP) - The body of a blonde-haired woman with her legs and arms cut off and throat slit was found lying on the street in Fallujah, a notorious enclave for hostage-takers, marines said.
"It is definitely a Caucasian woman with long blonde hair," said a military official, who cut open a cover that had been over the corpse.
The gruesome discovery was made as the marines moved through the south of Fallujah, hunting out the remaining die-hard rebels after a week of fierce fighting to regain control of the city.
"It is a female... missing all four appendages, with a slashed throat and disembowled, she has been dead for a while but only in this location for a day or two," said Benjamin Finnell, a hospital apprentice with the Navy Corps, who had inspected the body.
An AFP photographer embedded with the marines said the woman was wearing a blue dress and her face was completely disfigured.
The marines said she appeared to have been on the street for about two days.
Sweeps of rubble-strewn neighbourhoods in Fallujah have already uncovered a grisly underworld of hostage slaughterhouses, prisons and torture chambers as well as the corpses of Iraqis who had been executed, marines say.
Surviving hostages have also been found, but only one has been a foreigner -- a Syrian driver who was abducted with two French journalists in August.
Two foreign women have been abducted in Iraq (news - web sites) and remain missing.
One, Teresa Borcz, 54, a Pole, has blonde hair, the other, British aid worker Margaret Hassan, 59, has chestnut-coloured hair.
Borcz, married to an Iraqi and a resident in Iraq for 30 years, was abducted late last month. She has appeared in two video cassettes appealing to the Polish government to help her but her fate is unknown.
Hassan, the Iraqi head of relief agency CARE International, was kidnapped on her way to work in Baghdad on October 19 and has appeared in three videos.
She also holds Iraqi citizenship after marrying an Iraq and is a long-term resident of the country.
The religion of peace strikes again.
No respect for life
We'll probably all be treated to a videotape of the butchery sometime in the near future. I wonder if watching a woman get disemboweled will change anyone's mind about women in combat.
The animals think this barbarism is going to make a difference by scaring people but it actually only adds more fuel to the fire to annihilate them.
“The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not ‘insurgents’ or ‘terrorists’ or ‘The Enemy.’ They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow—and they will win.” - Michael Moore, 4/14/2004
"Praise be to Allah and his great works. Will his wonders never cease?".
Yes, when this religion and it's followers are wiped off the face of the earth.
That's the perfect caption to this story.
Additional info ping
What we got here, is a failure to communicate.
The large bulk of Muslims should be denouncing the tactics of this bunch of thugs who have been committing horrendous crimes in the name of Islam. But they are in an almost stunned fear, hypnotized in the manner of a rodent staring at a swaying cobra. They know that they are in mortal danger. But they will not, perhaps cannot, take even evasive action, let alone do anything effective against the cobra. Perhaps the hope is that they may cause the cobra to strangle as it swallows their dead corpses. But the cobra only waxes stronger and larger.
If any photos were available, they should be posted over at IMSORRY.COM...let them know just who they are dealing with (and supporting) their whiney, little, pathethic appeals for 'forgiveness'....
Or the concepts of honor and courage are foreign to them.
They think its this lady huh?
Thanks.
Truly terrible.
At what point do Islamist atrocities become so great that American patience is exhausted and unconventional options are used?

Oh I don't know.. the Rissians let them slaughter a bunch of their children and didn't do a darn thing. The world is insane. It's like everyone is in denial. Like it's just a bad movie.
(Sigh)
They have already frightened the Philippines and Spain into submission.
My thoughts exactly :-(
