Plus some information on the latest hostages, from Reuters:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) - A decapitated corpse was found by police in northern Iraq Thursday and Bulgaria said it was investigating whether the body was one of two Bulgarians seized by militants loyal to al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.In Kuwait, the transport company that employs three Indians, three Kenyans and an Egyptian also kidnapped by guerrillas in Iraq said it would do all it can to win their release.
The announcement of their kidnapping Wednesday sparked a new hostage crisis just a day after guerrillas freed a Filipino driver following Manila's capitulation to their demands.
Their captors say they will behead one hostage every three days unless the firm that employs the men, Kuwait and Gulf Link Transport Company, stops doing business in Iraq.
Iraqi police said the decapitated body and its severed head were found in the Tigris river near Baiji, 100 miles north of Baghdad, and taken to the city of Tikrit. Earlier this month another headless body in an orange jumpsuit was found in the river in the same area. It has yet to be identified.
The severed head was bloated from being submerged in the water. The body was dressed in a faded and torn reddish-colored tunic. Zarqawi's group dresses its hostages in orange clothing before executing them, mimicking the orange jumpsuits worn by U.S. prisoners including Muslim detainees in Guantanamo Bay.
The two Bulgarians, Georgi Lazov and Ivailo Kepov, were seized as they delivered cars to Mosul in northern Iraq. Zarqawi's group has already executed an American and a South Korean hostage, and has claimed responsibility for a series of suicide bomb attacks in Iraq.
"We are officially looking into the situation and are checking if the body is one of the Bulgarian hostages. We are trying to confirm this," Bulgarian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Vicky Melamed said in Sofia.
BEGGING FOR THEIR LIVES
Video footage given to news organizations showed the seven kidnapped drivers looking tired and afraid in a dingy room, stating name and nationality to the camera and begging for their lives to be spared. One of them, Mohammed Ali Sanad from Egypt, tried to reassure his family.
"Mom, if you see me on TV don't get worried, we are with the best people, the Iraqis," he said. "You too my kids, Ahmed and Ali, don't worry. I am coming at the end of the month as I promised you, but if we die then I say thank God."
What is this, keystone cops?
Reza, only your people would be dumb enough to kidnap the only six foreigners in Iraq that come from countries that don't have a military presence, and then ask for their militaries to leave.
"Your grandchildren will be nonexistant"
Becuase your children are too stupid to breed...
(2) Points of interest here;(1) What do you think the chances are that these chumps are in fallujheh(sic)? Is the canal these bodies and heads are found near there? Are they now actively seeking hostages to keep us from razing the place,as a form of protection?(2) what ALOT of the public at large does not understand it that these murders are not beheading in the sense of chopping of the head.These are brutal BECARVINGS,where the head is,more or less,carved off the body and the spine broken and cut through with what looks to be about a 12" long knife.....this is important because my first imagined mental image of these murders was of the japanese cutting off heads with swords.Savage,but in the least the death was near instant......these butchers' purposely make them suffer,as if to indicate that not only do thay hate counrties and their foriegn policies,but they also,at the most basic level,hate human life,including their own.......
The prisoners being held by the Iraqi resistance are employed by a Kuwati firm that is providing support to the Zionist/Crusader invaders. It has been made perfectly clear many times that anyone, whether native Iraqi or foreign mercenary, who collaborates with them will suffer the same fate as the occupiers of the Muslim land of Iraq.
As for the headless corpse, perhaps the Christian Saint James the Moor Slayer has risen from Hell to strike again. Beheading has, after all, been a common Christian practice for some two thousand years.
Allahu akbar
Reza,
These guys drove civilian supply trucks to feed the Iraqi people, and have nothing to do with the United States or coalition forces.
Perhaps if you were better educated, you would know that. Perhaps if you were more intelligent, you would know not to bite the hand that feeds you.
What a bunch of ignorant fools ye Muslims be...
shit fuck all Christians and Muslims. may you all go to your hell. =) And the Americans too.
you silly moolies...always getting heaven and hell confused.I wonder why....could it be...ah...SATAN!
After the next 9/11 the attitude of the U.S. government will be very different. For now, the American people let it get away with being overly politically correct.
We Americans don't want Muslims here in the U.S. Go back to the Middle East, scum.
hi prem,
i'm going through a catharsis here. i hope you die writhing in excrutiating pain from cancer. in the meantime, have a great day. don't ever insult America like that.
Reza,
These men worked for a MUSLIM-owned company, Kuwait and Gulf Link Transport Co, and at least four of the captives are MUSLIMS, guilty only of transporting humanitarian goods to feed MUSLIM civilians. According to the Middle East Finance and Economy web site AME Info, this company also engages in "other activities, including pest control, sewer maintenance, the manufacturing of cleaning equipment, and agricultural works."

Are clean sewers and rat-free streets a threat to the Caliphate? Would it be so hard for you to admit that at least this particular group of kidnappers is stupid?
Saw a picture this moring and they looked like they were poseing for family photos all masks in the frount with guns and all showing their faces in the back?
Could these guys have been fighting against the Iraqi people and now want to get out they are afraid of the new Iraqi goverment?
The Iraqi people want FREEDOM and the terrorist to die the Marines killed 25 and wonded 17 and cap. 25 today yes that is terrorist off the streets we are winning this is why people like abe have come out of the woodwork?
Train reck in Turkey?
Part of the American Tribe
God Bless The USA and her Fighting Forces and All who Fight with her give them Strength and Courage to stay the course to Victory Amen
PS from St. Catherine LOL
Prem,
Being Fillipino, shouldn't you be surrendering to an Islamic terrorist somewhere right about now?
By the way, you are not nearly as smart as you think you are, or you would not tell Muslims to go to hell, with your home address, work address, and your picture just a click away thorugh your profile.
BTW, get new glasses, those frames don't do you any good.
And good luck sleeping any time soon...
Just back from lunch perused a book store, one book, published 1946, caught my eye; Experiment in Germany, written by an undercover American. One of his observations of the Germans was that in its popular ascension, it was trendy to be "for" Nazism, but in its decline, the general trend was to be against it. (Unclear when that happened, sometime during the war, perhaps when they knew they were losing?) Interestingly, too, mention amongst the German civilians of guilt of how the Jews had been treated, that youngsters of 18 & younger had never met a Jew, how they recalled being well-treated by their former Jewish employers, friendships lost, & their unending guilt.
So what can we take from this? Be careful of going-with-the-flow PC culture! Ask questions. Speak the obvious. Bonhoefer comes to mind. We may be few, but we need to speak the truth now. I've had discussion with friends about the growing Islamofascist threat, & they want to stop the conversation! Why? What are we afraid of? Either Mohammed taught salvation thru Infidel blood or not. Its either true or false. Its not an opinion.
Bob Owens,
I think someone may be playing a nasty prank on prem, if you read a little of his blog, the post here seems out of character.
Just a thought.
I don't think I can agree with you, fides. He calls God "barbaric" in one of his posts, and expresses his displeasure with Americans and Muslims in others. It sounds right down his alley.
REZA My little Iranian Lemming
So you got off the Turkish ship okay after a cuddle with the sailors...My,my what a wild view of history you've got.Yes, isn't it nice to see St James, the Moorslayer is back on its pedestal.
Should think Petition to make Queen Isbella,the Catholic, a SAINT will be circulating again.This time I shall vote YES! Take care...
Guys, please. Don't gang up on Prem. Well okay, go ahead but obviously he's off his meds. I pulled this beaut off his blog
"I was able to think these: if I happened to be kidnapped and my head be cut, I am going to request that they make the beheading *ceremonial*. Shit I am not going to allow them to cut my head with my face blindfolded, and step off my head while butchering my neck. If they could have been sacred about the beheading, if we can’t change the fact that Islam view the infidels like that (like animals butchered). I am going to ask for a favor: my head be cut by a kris. Kris is a very spritual thing in Islam, my face should be seen (because I will smile at death). My dead body should be treated with respect. (e.g. Japanese style)"
Hey, Prem? If they cut your head off, they'll p*&% down your neck hole. Some ceremony.
Reza,
Beheading has been a common practice among Christians has it, please send me a link where I can see Christians cutting heads off of Muslims, I would love to see that-especially after just watching the video of the Korean being beheaded. And when there was beheading it was with a guillotine, and was much quicker and humane the carving someones head off with a dull hunting knife. And why is it that they keep the heads in the freezers, will they eat them later? And Saint James has risen from hell has he, sorry to inform you but he was a TRUE MARTYR and sits at the right hand of God Almighty, hence the name "Saint"--And why dont you elaborate and inform the readers why St. James beheaded people...he killed with the strength of God to stop the invasion of the followers of the false prophet Mohammed, because the rats were infesting Spain. And I hear your Iranian. So when will you be moving to Iraq, shouldnt you be thanking us for opening up the borders?wink wink.
Typical.
Isn't it strange how all the terrorist activities in the world today are perpetrated by "false" followers of Islam.
Some reform is necessary.
fior na croise,
What makes you think this isn't already happening?
