BAGHDAD, Jan 21 (KUNA) -- Witnesses said here Friday that a number of gunmen beheaded a policeman and stuck a note on his corpse describing as traitors those working with or helping the police.
About ten gunmen in two cars in the Ramadi area stepped out of their vehicles, attacked a soldier, tied his hands behind his back, and cut his head off before the eyes of shocked onlookers in the street, the witnesses said.
Armed clashes between gunmen and security forces had flared in Ramadi for the second day of Eid which resulted in the injury of two gunmen.
Meanwhile Multi-national Forces arrested today in Karbala a bomb-maker who bragged about his fighting and killing of members of the Multi-national forces with his homemade bombs.
A cache of arms and ammunition was confiscated from the site of the man's home. He admitted that he had been making bombs with which to kill members of the Multi-national forces since the summer of 2003.
Furthermore a statement by the Multi-national forces said the US 204th Brigade had discovered at dawn today the body of a man in the Diali area, east of Baghdad, and had turned the corpse over to a hospital. (end) mhg.
Dear God in heaven! What an atrocity by these murderers.
Good grief.. they do it in broad daylight and no one tries to help some way? Did it happen so fast no one realized what was going on?
"cut his head off before the eyes of shocked onlookers"
We need to arm more onlookers in Iraq. You'd get shot in downtown Spokane if you tried something like that.
Happy Eid 2005!
Is this war or not?
Millions of free Pacific Islanders are glad that we didn't run in fear from the Japanese atrocities...
Grisly cowards.
Its wierd the Iraqi government is closing the borders during the election but why can't they close them all the time?
Michael Moore's "freedom fighters" strike again...........
>Is this war or not?
Apparently it's only a half-ass one. I hate that this country's military cowties to the media and pansies out in a WAR. Shoot these people on sight.
Thanks,

Eid is an islamic festival marking when the koran was revealed. Allegedly.
Not enough troops to guard the borders.
Too bad Babs Boxer and John K (who, by the way served in Vietnam) weren't there to explain to these poor mis-understood fellows that everything will be OK if the U.N. can only help more....... afterall, it's just a little incident in the ongoing effort to make such activities only a mere nuisance in life....... just needs to become an everyday event in life in the big city.......
Key Word...."Allegedly"
Bingo.
The source for this insanity is Saudi Arabia...
