The fate of three of nine foreigners abducted in Yemen last week is known — their bodies were found, shot execution style. The whereabouts of the other six — including three children under the age of 6 — remain a mystery.
But terrorism experts say their abductors and killers are almost certainly not a mystery. They say the crimes bear the mark of Al Qaeda, and they fear they are the handiwork of the international terror organization's No. 2 man in the Arabian Peninsula: Said Ali al-Shihri, an Islamic extremist who once was in American custody — but who was released from the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
And if al-Shihri is behind the gruesome murders and abductions, they say, it raises grave concerns that the scheduled January 2010 closing of the Guantanamo prison and the release of most of its prisoners to foreign countries will galvanize Al Qaeda and compromise American national security.
The nine foreigners — four German adults, three small German children, a British man and a South Korean woman — were abducted on June 12 after they ventured outside the city of Saada without their required police escorts,
“Christians aren’t allowed to proselytize in the Muslim world, and if that’s what was going on here ... well then, there you go.”
Rep. Peter King (R-NY), Ranking Member on the House Homeland Security Committee, opposes closing Gitmo and says Obama is rushing "helter skelter" to find homes for the remaining detainees to meet his "arbitrary deadline," which he says may come at the cost of national security.
“The president’s policies are very very disturbing. He appears to have decided to close Guantanamo without any idea of where these detainees are going to go

Sadly, most of us knew this was coming.
And so it begins.

Yes, of course, when it comes to the grotesque brutality of the barbaric Mohammedan savages, it’s always the victim’s fault.
As for Guantanamo, it didn’t take long to prove how wrong is our Teleprompter in Chief, that ZER0 of an empty suit.
Obama’s fault. Oh, and John McCain’s fault.
Chrissie Matthews called G a “torture factory” yesterday.
Disgusting.
Anything for a tingle...
This guy was released in 2007.
My first thought was that these were stealth missionaries, especially with one of the victims being South Korean.
However, I would guess that they were staff at this hospital:

which is part of the “Saudi German Hospital Group” which is part of the Bait Al-Batterjee Group, a Saudi group.
This looks like a pretty good group started by US educated Saudi doctors and engineers.
Either way, the scum who kidnapped and killed these hospital workers and their children need to be hunted down, publicly and Islamically humiliated and then killed.

9 Abducted Foreigners, Including 3 Children, Found Dead in Yemen
Chrissy should man up and allow the detainees at Gitmo to live with him.
Thanks for pointing that out.
It’s very likely he was still traumatized and resentful at not having been given his Miranda warning when US troops arrested him. So, please, go easy on him, he’s just trying to deal with that trauma in his own way, and appreciates all the love and support he’s sensing from the US government, and hopes he can put closure to it soon.
“Obama’s fault. Oh, and John McCain’s fault.”
In point of fact, it was the Bush Administration which released him...Bush’s fault, for real!
Technically, you are right. But since Jan. 20, anything bad that happens is Obama’s fault, and no longer Bush’s fault. Sorry, but those are the rules.
“But since Jan. 20, anything bad that happens is Obama’s fault, and no longer Bush’s fault. Sorry, but those are the rules”
LOL!!! OK, I’ll remember that!
“Three small German children......” And we have a president who grovels, apologizes, and panders to the vermin who murdered them.
Needless to say, I won’t be taking any cruises to Bermuda anytime soon. Those 4 Al Quaeda guys there are probably recruiting more already and planning to blow up a cruise ship.
They are all animals.
That these people would return to terrorism was entirely predictable.
“Chrissie Matthews called G a “torture factory” yesterday.”
Matthews is a lying SOB.
