DUBAI (Reuters) - The new leader of al Qaeda in Iraq "slit the throats" of two U.S. soldiers whose bodies were found in Baghdad, according to a statement posted on the Internet on Tuesday.
"God Almighty has graced the leader Abu Hamza al-Muhajir ... with the implementation of the sentence," said a statement from the al Qaeda-led Mujahideen Shura Council. It said the two had been killed by having their throats slit.
The statement could not be authenticated. It was posted on one Web forum used by Islamists, but not on the main site used by Iraqi insurgent groups.
The same group had said in a statement on Monday, a few hours before the bodies were found, that it had abducted them and would provide more details in the coming days.
They're probably lying. Probably some ordinary muslims - parading around as human debris -- tortured and killed our men -- and then said it was their leader. They lie as easily as they breathe. I think if it was the new leader he would have filmed it and made it a big t.v. production.
Because we are not like the prisoners in Gitmo. More to the point, we should try never to be like them.
P.S. -- I rather doubt you'd be pleased to live under the conditions under which these prisoners are held at Gitmo. They're in prison. Treated humanely, but doing hard time in prison nonethelesss.
Thank you.
I don't believe this for a moment.
Pathetic terrorist grandstanding.
Using the bodies of our men.
Dennis Prager asked yesterday what the muslims' deal is with slitting people's throats, why is that the favored means of killing. Any answers?
I still wouldn't be surprised if a video comes out, but I agree that this guy probably did not personally kill our soldiers. We have heard about 5 different names floated as the new leader of AQ in Iraq, so I think this one is just taking advantage of the situation to try to make a name for himself and make it clear that he is the "real" leader.
I second that. They hide in Mosques, use civilians as shields, target non combatants, etc.
I bet that this is going to have some unintended consequences for them. I see another major crackdown coming in my crystal ball.
My guess is that it means that they're slaughtering their enemies like animals.
That is something these soldiers weren't able to accomplish apparently.
I find it tough to believe the tactics that were reportedly used when contact was made with the enemy.
NEVER leave one platform on its own. Always fight to the death against these goat-****ers.

alqaeda has made another big mistake that will galvanize the nation. Our hero's are psyched and we're going to finish the job. Do you hear that sleazy RATs out there?
American's are not effiminate quitters, we will finish the job!
I surely hope you're right- this requires major flushing.
As emotional as many of us are this morning- and as much as we want to see these madmen suffer endless agony, I am grateful we discipline our soldiers to focus on the mission, whatever that may be- and not on mindless slaughter.
Find their families and kill them in their homes.
I don't buy that this guy did it.
I don't buy that this guy did it.
sorry for the double post

Somewhere in the Koran there's a passage about "Striking at the necks" of enemies.
Those guys can't take a dump without consulting the Koran first.
101st will track these killers down and hopefully kill them...not capture them.
Mike, check this article out. The writer is Pierre Tristam, who is published in the Daytona Beach News Journal( Online) every Tuesday. This is his PERSONAL BLOG, and I would like to get your opinion of it , and of Pierre Tristam.
I wish I could get this spread around enough so that he would have to "back up" his statements about the US Marines, who he smears both the past and present in this article. Any Marine who reads this article must shurely have a few questions for Pierre Tristam.
