Saudi Arabian volunteer killed in Fallujah fighting
2004-04-13
A Saudi volunteer has been killed fighting against US forces in the flashpoint Iraqi city of Fallujah, his father told AFP here yesterday.
Dead as a doorknob... Stiff as a brick... No longer with us...
Fahed Al Razni Al Shimmeri said that his son, Majed, a 25-year-old student, became "a martyr ... in resisting the American forces' aggression in Fallujah," on Thursday.
Fell mortally wounded... Titzup, assdown... Pushing up daisies...
He said he was notified of the death on Saturday by one of his son's companions in Fallujah.
Colder'n a mackerel... Thoroughly ventilated... Now resident in the boneyard...
The son "called from time to time" following his departure for Iraq one month after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in April 2003, the father said. There, he took part in "jihad against the American occupation of an Arab-Muslim country," added the father, who claimed his son "had no connection with extremist groups and was not in Afghanistan."
Tell Sonny to pass on our regards to Himmler, Pop.

#12  Good. Spread the word to all his friends Dad. Maybe they'll begin to catch on.

Yeah, I know, I'm being overly optimistic.

Not really. Understand that the arab world lives in a world that is spun by its media, clerics and their governments that lead them to believe they are winning.

#6  Prolly overslept and died while Marines overran his hole. Bad habits are hard to break.

#5  You would think that Saudis after watching Gulf Wars I & II would know that playing "Jihad" with the marines is no fun at all and that "game over" means game over. No virgins for "matyred" fools.

#4  Inspired by john, played by SRV:

Tooth for tooth eye for an eye
sell you soul just to buy, buy, buy
Beggin' a dollar stealin' a dime
Come on can't you see that I
(I am) stranded
Caught in the crossfire !

Not anymore!

#3  somehow I imagine he was informed by his son's companion as the companion raced south trying to get away from the marines.
