THE Iraqi branch of al-Qaeda has put on the internet a video showing the mutilated bodies of two US soldiers kidnapped in June and executed to "avenge" an Iraqi woman raped near Mahmudiyah south of Baghdad.
"Here is a film on the remains of the bodies of the two American soldiers kidnapped near Yussufiyah (south of Baghdad). We are showing it to avenge our sister who was raped by a soldier belonging to the same division as these two soldiers," said a preamble by the Mujahedeen Al-Shura Council, an al-Qaeda dominated alliance of armed Sunni groups in Iraq.
When guerillas learned of the rape, "they repressed their sighs to avoid news of the affair spreading but they swore to avenge their sister", the council said on its usual website.
"Praise God, they captured two soldiers from the same division as this vile crusader. Here are the remains ... to rejoice the hearts of the faithful," the statement said.
The nearly five-minute film shows the horribly mutilated bodies of the two soldiers, who had had their throats cut.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
What took them so long......btw..I have no intention to view it......God rest their souls.
I suppose there's only one way to deal with an aggressor who values no life.
Allah's "one true messenger" is one sweetheart of a guy.
That is pure BS.
but I do wonder if the media told them this was to avenge the so called "rape" of their sister. I have a feeling they did.
I thought the same thing..
As if there is an equivalence, or justification, to do what they did...granted these are US soldiers in a War Zone, they're in harms way, but our enemy is evil...about time the MSM gets on the right side of history and stops being apologists and supporters of terrorists.
These soldiers have names...

I won't look, but I do wonder if the media told them this was to avenge the so called "rape" of their sister. I have a feeling they did.

Agree -- to both points.

Yep, all we really know is it was the same unit. We don't know if the rape charges will hold up and we don't know that there is any connection with the beheadings.
Since they "exacted vengance" then we don't need to go ahead with the trial of the accused soldiers, as the debt to society has already been paid.
I wonder if they would have to stone her to death (honor killing), if she weren't already dead, for getting raped. I am not making light of this but this is their MO.
I won't go to see this...not sure why..something to do with respect for our soldiers.
God rest their souls and comfort their families.
These animals that did this act of butchury should die a very long and painfull death.I would prefer white phosphorous or better yet napalm.The U.S. needs to bring napalm back into the inventory.I want these animals to suffer.
AQ always has a "reason" why they murder people. The "reason" is always different, yet they continue to murder people. Which just goes to show the "reason" is BOGUS.
I won't watch the video. I just hope the 5 [if they are indeed guilty of what they're charged with] get a long time in a cell with the picture of the bodies of these two innocent butchered men on the walls of their cells.
[This reminds me of an old John Wayne movie-- "Sands of Iwo Jima"?]
Thank you for remembering they are people....not just numbers.
I will either what does the war hero MURTHA,RAT DEMOCRATS,MSM have to say about this is he happy with his condemenation and guilty verdict of our military men "PISS ON ALL OF THEM"
