BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen stormed the house of a Sunni cleric Thursday and cut his head off before setting him alight in an attack that bore the hallmark of insurgents, a police spokesman said.

In a separate attack Thursday, four men wearing women's clothes entered the house of a policeman in a village northwest of Baquba, the Diyala capital, and beheaded his wife when they failed to find the officer, an interior ministry source said.

Jabbar Saleh al-Jibouri was killed shortly before dawn at his house in a village near Muqdadiya town, 80 km (50 miles) northeast of the capital in Diyala province, Major Ghalib al-Jubouri, a police spokesman in Diyala, said.

The attack came a day before the start of the Islamic holiday of Eid.

"The gunmen entered the house, stabbed him, cut his head off and set him alight," Jubouri told Reuters.

---------- Jibouri, who was also a medic, used to treat members of the government-backed "Sahwa" militia.

Insurgents have frequently targeted the Sahwa, Sunni ex-militants who turned against al Qaeda. The U.S. military credits the Sahwa group with helping turn the tide of sectarian violence unleashed by the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Perhaps Americans will start to understand why the wearing of burqas is banned in France and should be here, too.

Will the media mention the fact that these actions are promoted by the book that the pastor wanted to burn?

[yoe]

The tolerance of Islam is truly staggering isn’t it.

[ichabod1]

gruesome.

[swarthyguy]

I try and make the point that we would not let men dressed in white or black burka type outfits parade around in the US, so why should certain women be the exception.

[Hardraade]

Did they burn his koran too?

that is a hard read...to get context and proper chronology, we had to go to the article itself.
