Akbar attacks his MP escort
2005-03-31
A former Fort Campbell soldier accused of killing two officers in a Kuwait grenade attack tried to overpower a guard in an apparent escape attempt today at Fort Bragg, N.C., the Army said. Sgt. Hasan Akbar, who served with an engineering unit of the 101st Airborne Division, tried to overpower one of the military police officers escorting him to a courtroom for a pre-trial motion. Army spokeswoman Ellen A. Hart said Akbar was quickly subdued by other guards.
Guess he thought he was in Atlanta for a moment there...
During the incident, however, Akbar and one of the guards suffered injuries requiring medical attention.
"Aw, shucks, Akbar! Did it hurt?"
"Gimme my teeth back, infidel!"
The hearing was postponed until Friday. Jury selection in the capital case begins on April 6. Akbar will be tried on charges that he killed two officers and wounded several others in a grenade attack that occurred as troops of the 101st were about to enter Iraq in January 2003.

#16  OK, let's try again. This time, I'll put in some spaces, so Fred's nifty algorythm won't automatically convert everything (I hope!!!).
< IMG SRC = "http://www.xxxxx.yyy/" > In reality, there should be no spaces except between IMG and SRC.

#9  What a wasteoid. He gets cut all kinds of slack while Terri is denied all water and condemned to die.

#8  The only reason he did not need extensive time in the hospital is that they did not have him guarded by those with sufficient motivation. Like his old buddies from the 101st. Then we would have seen what 'escape attempts' get those who stab their brothers in the back.

#7  Agreed. A broken neck in a scuffle would've really pulled hard on my heartstrings - though I might've been disappointed that he did not feel sufficient pain.

If anyone needs proof regards the Muslim First rule, just take a look at this asshole.

#6  What a farkin' shame he wasn't fatally wounded during the attempt!

#5  What, he wasn't guarded by a single 5'0" fiftyish female? Well, why the heck not? More diversity!
