"The crowd erupted in cheers of "God is great!" and gunmen fired in the air in jubilation."
"Thousands Cheer as Pakistani Militants Decapitate, Shoot Afghans Accused of Spying for U.S., " from the Associated Press, May 27:
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A gang of Pakistani militants executed two alleged U.S. spies in front of thousands of cheering supporters Friday as a top U.N. official expressed fears that Pakistani government peace deals with the gunmen were sparking a wave of human rights abuses.
At least 5,000 people gathered by a stream in the Bajur region to watch the executions, which highlighted the power of local Taliban forces in the lawless tribal areas near the Afghan border.
Masked militants pulled the two blindfolded Afghans from a car and forced them to kneel on the ground.
Waliur Rehman, a local Taliban commander, told the crowd that the two men confessed to aiding in a suspected U.S. missile strike on a house in the border town of Damadola that killed 14 people last month. The men disclosed the names of others involved, and they would be killed as well, he said.
"Whoever, for the sake of money, for the sake of America, harms the interest of the Islamic world will meet the same fate," he said.
Gunmen with daggers then pounced on one of the men — identified as Jan Wali, 36 — decapitated him and waved his bloody head to the cheering crowd.
The militants then argued over how to kill the other man because he may have been a teenager, before one lost patience and shot him with an assault rifle.
The crowd erupted in cheers of "God is great!" and gunmen fired in the air in jubilation. The celebratory gunfire killed two bystanders and wounded six, local official Fazal Rabbi said.
The recently elected Pakistani government has supported negotiations that would give local tribes and militants broad authority over some tribal areas. The U.S. says those deals will only give Taliban and Al Qaeda forces in the border region more freedom to attack Afghanistan.
A deal has not yet been reached over Bajur, but the militants are clearly able to operate freely in the area.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour said Friday she was concerned that the peace deals undermined state authority and left residents vulnerable to a range of human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings.
the 7th century Islamic bloodbath continues it's assault on civilization. It's like watching the Terminator in live time. A killing machine on steroids known as Islam whose sole mission is to kill humanity.
"The celebratory gunfire killed two bystanders and wounded six ..."
'Nuff said.
Yes the frenzy, zeal and almost intoxicating effect that these barbarians go through when they murder for the cause of Islam is sickening.
Ah, yes. Louise Arbour, that paragon of the relativist euphemism; "extrajudicial killings". Wasn't that what happened on 9/11? On 7/7? In Beslan? In Madrid?
Those "extrajudicial killings" are a spot of bother, what what?
Ugh. Makes me want to heave.
"The celebratory gunfire killed two bystanders and wounded six ..."
I always wondered about them shooting their guns into the air to celebrate. Is this the result? Wonder who the brain surgeon was that invented that reaction to "good (sarc) news".
BARBARIANS!!!
The barbarians are the people who witnessed the execution and cheered. And what will be the excuse offered for their behavior? Were they pulled out of their homes and businesses and brought there at gunpoint for a photo-op?
That's right, like the Iranian crowds who are brought to rallies under duress but who don't REALLY support the mullahs, everyone who cheers murderers is doing so in fear for his life. The irony, a delicious one, was that being on hand to cheer the execution-style murder of two men by a mob of criminals actually cost two people their own lives. It was hard not to take some satisfaction in that. The "bystanders" were not innocent.
Something about this story is really remarkable. Two Afcrapistanies with hands tied behind their backs, still manage to kill 2 and wound 6.
Of course there was a "fair trial" before hand right. Right?
It is a shame the Crowd didn't celebrate harder.
Imagine, 5000 of them and being short a dz or so Cluster Bombs. The perfect Target for a perfect weapon.
When will these people of OURS figure out that killing a Few of the right ones, always attracts a bigger target of like minded individuals.
Human sacrifices.
Sickening,
How will our soldiers deal with this again.
The family members here in the USA, every time you hear from something, your heart starts beating faster. You wonder will he come home alive, this time?

.. from the article above.
You are quite ignorant about Islam, arn't ya, Louise?
I reckon this will turn up on Live Leak soon.
Surely these people must have misinterpreted peaceful islamic texts from the koran. Either that, or it's the fault of Israel.
I really cannot understand why people use the word execute when they should use slaughter or murder.The word execute implies some sort of legal process or justification for the deaths.
>>The barbarians are the people who witnessed the execution and cheered. --PMK
Yes, but so are the Beheaders.
It is quite obvious that the West will simply remain in skirmish form until the Islamists have radically altered our livinbg standard and way of life. And THEN it will be that we will accept that we need to fight a war. Once we accept that, and we will, it won't take us 200 years as it did the last time. This one could be over in five years.
"which highlighted the power of local Taliban forces in the lawless tribal areas near the Afghan border."
AP once again you get an F in journalism. It is not a "LAWLESS TRIBAL AREA." It is an area under islamic law! The fatwa was executed in dar al islam!
At least once a month thousands of Pakistani's are able to look up and observe that big, round, shining bright white thing moving from east to west across the night's sky. If we could drop leaflets into that area to inform these putz's of Allahmen that America has its flag planted down on the surface of that big, round, shiny bright white thing, and that the American people own the entire surface sphere ..., and also to make mention that no Islamist, Pakistani or otherwise owns the moon, that their men couldn't mentally figure out how to punch their way out of a wet paper bag, hey, what a couple swift kicks to the balls that would be to their silly Islamic pride.
The Islamic man of Pakistan, or any Islamist nation: what a bunch of losers. Don't sugar and spice the words, insultingly slap them in the face and tell them why ... what a bunch of dopes they are, and what a pathetic culture theirs is, and will continue to be in the future.
We know roughly what area these toads occupy.
Aren't there any terminally-ill pilots out there who could be persuaded to make a final flight (loaded with thermite or something that goes "bang" on impact) over Waziristan?
Just sayin' I wouldn't mind seeing a couple instances of "sudden anti-jihad syndrome" ...
Yes, but so are the Beheaders.

Not at all. You're being way too generous.
The beheaders are even lower than barbarians. To even call them animals is a disservice to beasts that roam the earth.
The beheaders are the scum of the earth.
"It is good for the Islamic world"
And the UN human rights council made a resulution that Islam can not be connected with terrorism, violence and breaking human rights - what a joke -
The muslims are connecting violence and Islam every day -
From the article:
"At least 5,000 people {tr: local Muslims} gathered by a stream in the Bajur region to watch the executions, which highlighted the power of local Taliban forces in the lawless tribal areas near the Afghan border."
and
"Gunmen {Jihadis} with daggers then pounced on one of the men — identified as Jan Wali, 36 — decapitated him and waved his bloody head to the cheering crowd.
"The militants {tr: jihadis} then argued over how to kill the other man because he may have been a teenager, before one lost patience and shot him with an assault rifle.
"The crowd erupted in cheers of "God is great! {tr: Allahu Akbar}".
Do you know what this reminded me of? The following passage from Oriana Fallaci's "The Rage and the Pride" (I quote), describing a public 'execution' (read, ritual human sacrifice to 'allah') in Bangladesh during the 'civil war', and the full, enthusiastic participation of a very large Muslim crowd:
"To make you cry I’ll tell you about the twelve young impure men I saw executed at Dacca at the end of the Bangladesh war.
"They executed them on the field of Dacca stadium, with bayonet blows to the torso or abdomen, in the presence of twenty thousand faithful who applauded in the name of God [allah] from the bleachers. They thundered "Allah akbar, Allah akbar."
" Yes, I know: the ancient Romans, those ancient Romans of whom my culture is so proud, entertained themselves in the Coliseum by watching the deaths of Christians fed to the lions. I know, I know: in every country of Europe the Christians, those Christians whose contribution to the History of Thought I recognize despite my atheism, entertained themselves by watching the burning of heretics.
"But a lot of time has passed since then, we have become a little more civilized, and even the sons of Allah ought to have figured out by now that certain things are just not done.
"After the twelve impure young men they killed a little boy who had thrown himself at the executioners to save his brother who had been condemned to death. They smashed his head with their combat boots.
"And if you don’t believe it, well, reread my report or the reports of the French and German journalists who, horrified as I was, were there with me.
"Or better: look at the photographs that one of them took. Anyway this isn’t even what I want to underline.
"It’s that, at the conclusion of the slaughter, the twenty thousand faithful (many of whom were women) left the bleachers and went down on the field. Not as a disorganized mob, no. In an orderly manner, with solemnity.
"They slowly formed a line and, again in the name of God, walked over the cadavers. All the while thundering Allah–akbar, Allah–akbar. They destroyed them like the Twin Towers of New York. They reduced them to a bleeding carpet of smashed bones."
We are in a civilisational war, alright, we kafir. The stakes are as high as when Rome confronted the moloch-worshippers of Carthage - see Chesterton, 'The War of the Gods and the Demons', in "The Everlasting Man". The foci of Islam may well have to be dealt with, as Rome dealt with the centre and focus of the Moloch-cult, at Carthage; or as Spain dealt with the human-sacrificers of the Aztec Empire.
A thought. When they kill people they accuse of being 'collaborators' - and who are most likely NOT what we think of as 'spies' or informers, but merely people against whom someone has a grudge, or converts to Christianity, or people who at some time assisted a western aid worker as a driver, a translator, a servant, and are thus suspected of having become 'friendly' to a kafir in contradiction of the command to 'not befriend' - then: we have an opportunity to reduce the Muslim population within our own lands.
Yet again, we should be choosing two imams to deport, or two convicted Muslim criminals, and stating publicly that since, in Muslim lands, two human beings have been murdered barbarically for the flimsiest of reasons, we are exercising our own right to reduce the potential fifth column of barbarism within our own borders.
