re post no. 106: "Toward the end of this article, there is mention of seven foreign terrorists killed near Fallujah that were all wearing similar dark uniforms and had shaved their bodies in preparation for collecting their 72 virgins. This is the first instance I have seen where enemy dead were found with shaved bodies."

SNIPPET from the article you linked to: "The dead gunmen, they later discovered, were foreign jihadis, or "holy warriors," Delagarza said. The dead men all wore the same type of dark uniform and had shaved their bodies in anticipation of entering paradise.

Just last week, a group of about 30 gunmen ambushed an 82nd Airborne Division patrol near the same cloverleaf. Alpha Company again was called in for support. A few of the gunmen were killed, but most got away. Alpha Company had no casualties."
