I'd be surprised if you haven't already posted this, but I'm afraid I didn't see it:

Islamist: al-Qaida holds coalition troops
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/882855/posts

Entire post:

LONDON, April 2 (UPI) -- A Muslim fundamentalist source claimed Wednesday that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network captured five coalition troops in Iraq.

The source who requested anonymity told United Press International by telephone that the kidnapping of four U.S. troops and a British soldier, took place last Saturday in al-Zubair region of southern Iraq, close to the Kuwaiti border.

He said the "kidnapped troops will be equally treated as al-Qaida prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay."

He said al-Qaida will soon release a videotape of the captured soldiers and will ask to swap them with al-Qaida suspects being held by the United States.

I did post the link earlier, but some things should be brought up often for discussion!

I hadn't heard of any captures over the weekend (like this one) so I was suspicious - anyone heard about this??

al-Qaida

Dear al-Qaida,

We are coming for you. It may not be today and it may not be tomorrow. But we will come. And when we do, Hell rides with us.
