THE body of a woman in her 60s, with her legs and arms cut off and throat slit was found today in the city of Fallujah but it was unclear whether she was a foreigner or an Iraqi, marines said.
The 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.
An AFP photographer embedded with the marines said the woman had grey hair, 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 and remain missing.
British aid worker Margaret Hassan, 59, was snatched from her home in Baghdad last month and Teresa Borcz, 54, a Pole has also been kidnapped.
Both women also hold Iraqi citizenship after marrying Iraqis.
I'm guessing but it's probably Hassan. Yeah, big shocker.
The Polish woman did have grey hair, didn't she?
Fallujah should have suffered the fate of Sodoma and Gomorra (sp?). This is too disturbing.
and these are the animals the liberals call 'freedom fighters'. lol
Cowards.
It should have been destroyed after those contractors were murdered and defiled. The next day.
They are terrorists .

U.S. military officials have said the city of Fallujah was almost under control of American forces but Iraqi resistance elements continued to fight, reports said on Sunday. U.S. sources indicated that resistance had not been entirely subdued and that it still could take several days of fighting to clear the final pockets.
Maj. Gen. Richard Natonski, commander of the 1st Marine Division, said Sunday that more than 1,200 "insurgents" have been killed since the operation was launched.
Overnight, U.S. planes attacked Fallujah and the nearby Amiriyah, and clashes broke out north of Baghdad.
The Fallujah raid killed some 30 American troops. Three marines were killed Saturday in a blast as they entered a booby-trapped building in the center of the city, while another 13 were injured in a firefight nearby, a marine officer said, according to AFP.
U.S. Marines on Sunday found the mutilated body of what they believed was a Western woman during the sweep in Fallujah. The body was lying in the street covered with a blood-soaked cloth.
AFP said the body was of a blonde-haired woman with her legs and arms cut off and throat slit. 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. (albawaba.com)

Somehow, the abuses at Abu Ghraib do not seem quite as gruesome now, in fact, have paled into relative insignificance. And that was supposed to be the source of rage for the "freedom fighters" of Fallujah (as they were designated by Michael Moore, American Hatriot).
This is way past the point of "getting even".
Have insurgents claimed responibility/ ID'd the victim yet? Thanks for the pic.
I expected it, but it hurts to read it.
These are truly bestial.
I sure am glad that Bush won reelection. Can you imagine Kerry implementing his dialogue strategy with these subhumans?
We've got to permanently neutralize these bastards.
To call them terrorists would be a compliment....They are the animals that evolution forgot. That's why I hate to see terrorist prison camps. They shouldn't even have the right to surrender.
Maybe this is just anger speaking, but I cannot seem to elevate their status to members of the human race.
I have had the same tagline since then.
Rebels and insurgents. The Socialist Stream Media makes me sick!
National Public Radio (supported by your tax dollars) spent weeks "reporting" on Abu Grab.
They barely mention the hideous crimes of the terrorists.
