DUBAI (Reuters) - A little-known Iraqi insurgent group said on Tuesday it was holding a U.S. soldier and threatened to kill him within 72 hours if Iraqi prisoners were not released, according to an Internet statement.
"Our mujahideen ... have managed to capture the American soldier John Adam after killing a number of his colleagues," said the Mujahideen Squadrons in the undated statement.
It carried a picture appearing to show a U.S. soldier sitting in front of a black banner with a rifle pointed at his head. The authenticity of the claim, which did not say where the man was seized, could not be verified.
"We will cut his throat in 72 hours if our male and female prisoners in the occupation jails are not released," it said.
A group using the same name, Mujahideen Squadrons, last month claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of a Brazilian engineer in Iraq (news - web sites).
Insurgents in Iraq, including al Qaeda's wing in Iraq, have been waging attacks on U.S.-led forces since they invaded the country in 2003.

Give us the names of those you want released, then if our soldier is not returned unharmed in 24 hours we start full fledged executions. Deal? You and I think alike here.

The person in the photo could be Arab. Wasn't aware Arabs were made of plastic.
If Cobra ties an M80 to his body to torture him I'll bring in Hawk and Flint and St Slaughter and get him out.

"Despite rumors to the contrary on the Internet, CBS News has concluded that this photo is in fact genuine."

Considering the successful elections and now this, Zaquawi has to be losing his mind already.

So they've captured G.I. Joe; does this mean that the insurgents are in league with C.O.B.R.A.?

Check out the beginning of this thread.
Alot of normally skeptical FReepers were buying this.
Of course, being a former lieutenant of Morgoth, my B.S. detector went off right away. I'm familiar with these sort of nasty hobbitses and their nefarious trickses.

They were hoping it was true. With the success of the Iraq election they needed an morale boost.

I hope we learned a valuable lesson today.
If it sounds like B.S. it might be B.S.
If it's posted on an Islamofascist website, it almost certainly is B.S.
If it's posted on an Islamofascist website, and it sounds like something Bagdad Bob would have said, it is Definitely B.S.
While I've got your attention, I'd like you to consider this risk-free investment opportunity. My family in Nigeria is having great difficulty moving the family fortune out of the country, and we need.......

Thank you.

Here's a doll from the manufacturer's website.
Apparently the heads are detachable (and are sometimes sold separately) but this pic shows what the doll looks like with all its gear on.

The blow up doll was fun while it lasted, but when they tried to behead her, she just went "pop".
