BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The Iraqi government said Tuesday it has captured a key terror suspect who allegedly confessed to hundreds of beheadings. Ahmed Hussein Dabash Samir al-Batawi was arrested by a terrorist combat unit on Monday in Baghdad, according to the prime minister's office.
The unit also seized documents, cell phones and computers that contained the names and addresses of other wanted terrorists and information on Islamic extremist groups, the government said in a statement.
"Al-Batawi is considered at the top of the terrorist list," the statement said, adding he had "committed the ugliest crimes against innocent civilians especially in Hurriyah neighborhood that witnessed many massacres."
The government said al-Batawi confessed under questioning that he beheaded hundreds of Iraqis in Baghdad and other Iraqi provinces.
I appreciate any and all threads on captured bad guys.
I believe we do take this seriously. I see the jokes as "black humor" to ease the tension and because Freepers are a small group. Most groups, be they doctors, ethnic groups, etc. all use black humor at times.
I find the jokes alleviating what is usually very serious and often depressing or enraging stuff.
thanks for the post.
Love that slogan!
Great!!!!
Very clever!!!
I agree...but then she's not too bright and fairly new to this game..
I thought all these "insurgents" are such a brave bunch of fellows that they would at least carry cyanide tablets in the event of imminent capture..... coward punk a-- b-----
yEAH... they are all cowards. After all they are really nothing more than "street punks".....the Sadam guys were all street punks, the Taliban are street punks.
they are like gang members here...same thing, punks that are cowards.
"Why in bloody hell is this even IN the newspaper?"
My reaction exactly!
Let us not get make personal attacks, ok? Otherwise, we contribute to the ongoing attempts to tarnish a great site.
Ok, her post was not too bright.
And she is fairly new, so I am reluctant to give a lot of credit to 'criticisms" of other posts.
Just what you would expect: a freakin little wuss that's a mouth-breather. He doesn't look so tough now does he. If they find him guilty and need someone to fire the shot, count me in!
His name is (in English) Arrec Barrwin......Martha (murtha)
Too bad Mousie Murtha isn't angered by these crimes. From his perspective it's not the crime or the magnitude or frequency of the crime--it's who may have committed it.
Interrogation produces results when not encumbered by Democrats, the Marxist Media, and JAGS.
Great picture. Our boys sure don't look scared.
Is he one of Zarqawi's stooges who came in from outside of Iraq or is he a homegrown madman?
So, I guess he's not an Iraqi.
Stick a stick of dynamite made with pig glycerin up is butt and light the fuse.
