You're nicked ... a squaddie arrests Barour |

From NICK PARKER in Southern Iraq
BRITISH troops yesterday grabbed an Iraqi thug said to have executed two of Our Boys.
Bearded Khalid Barour, a senior Baath Party official and a top aide of Saddams, was caught at a checkpoint near Al Zubayr in southern Iraq.
He was last night being questioned over the deaths of Staff Sergeant Simon Cullingworth, 36, and Sapper Luke Allsopp, 24.
 |
Humiliated ... Barour is forced to his knees |
The pair were ambushed by Iraqi forces. It was later claimed they had been executed after being dragged from their Land Rover.
Barour, who is in his 40s, was arrested after being stopped at a roadblock in a chauffeur-driven white Toyota.
Local informants have already implicated him in the suspicious circumstances surrounding the soldiers deaths.
 |
Thug ... Khalid Barour yesterday |
Major Jonny Bowron, of the Light Infantry, said last night:
Inquiries are ongoing.
We knew who we were looking for and this man and his father are significant people we want to talk to.
Barours driver wept as he was held at gunpoint by the soldiers. But he was later cleared of any involvement in the soldiers deaths and released.
 |
Suspicious ... Our Boys quiz him |
Barour was forced to kneel on the ground and subjected to a humiliating search at the side of the road by British Light Infantry troops.
The soldiers who took him into custody were clearly aware he had been named over the deaths of their comrades.
When he tried to stand up he was forced roughly back down and a squaddie barked orders at him to keep still.
 |
Enough said ... suspect is restrained |
Simon and Luke were killed after their ten-vehicle British convoy was shot-up on the road to Al Zubayr.
Their bodies were later sickeningly paraded in front of TV cameras. |

Brits give pay-back.
To: Cultural Jihad
Wonder how these guys will be "tried." US, Coalition, The Hague, etc.
Too bad, if the Brits try him, they don't have the death penalty. We do.

Now, let's ask him about Jessica!
To: Jeff Head
This is the death knell of the old regime.
Word will spread fast. If this guy was a senior secret police official, expect ordinary Iraqis begin to finger the rest, or take justice into their own hands (and ropes).

Thanks for posting this.
He is the typical POS Islamofacist. He can kill POW's, women and children and is a complete coward when faced with real men with weapons.
They should turn this POS over to some Freed Iraqis who can quickly try him for War Crimes, finish him, and leave him hanging as a warning to the other Baathists and Fedayeens.

Sick evil monster. Won't see the light of day for a very long time.
Why do they all have chauffeur-driven white Toyotas? Seriously, why?

If there's anything left then we or the Brits get to try them.

Unfortunately there is no civil government in Iraq able to fulfill such a role. We don't want to have chaos and vigilante retributions ocurring.
To: JimRed
I was pushing this a couple of weeks ago. That avoids American and Eurotrash left wing lawyers, the UN and countries against the death penalty.
Now O'Reilly is pushing this and even has a poll on his website.
Of course our trial lawyers, the UK's trial lawyers and the Eurotrash countries want these POS tried in Europe for the money, the publicity and for them to avoid the death penalty.
Turn them over to the Kurds if they committed crimes against the Kurds. If they committed crimes against the Iraqis, turn them over to the Iraqis. That brave Iraqi lawyer who save Jessica's life would be a good man to present the cases against these clymers in court.
