Zarqawi propagandist is toes up
2005-02-21
Iraqi security forces have killed a propaganda chief of al-Qaeda's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the government said on Sunday. Security forces "killed the terrorist Adel Mujtaba, known as Abu Rim, who disseminated propaganda for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's terrorist network", it said in a statement.

One of Abu Rim's associates, Abu al-Izz, was also killed in the same raid on February 11, it added, without saying why it was only now releasing news of the raid. "Abu Rim specialised in creating terrorist websites which encouraged terrorism," the statement said. "He glorified the murder of innocent people and published images which included terrorists torturing hostages." Abu Rim is the third Zarqawi propaganda chief to be killed or detained after the alleged first and second in command, Abu Sufiyan and Husam Abdullah Muhsin al-Dulaymi, were respectively killed and detained, the statement added, without providing further details.

#24  Spring Break, probably.

Gentle, dear, if you are on break, it would be good if you were to do the reading I assigned when last we spoke. That way you can argue your points based on knowledge. At your age and achievement, charming ignorance will no longer do.

#23  I think it probably is our Gentle. I'd recognize that rapier wit anywhere.

#19  Gentle,

When will you release my husband. We all know about the manage a trois with you and Murat, so release him now.

#18  You mean there are things that you can actually keep straight?
WOW!

#17  Hey ya, Gentle. Where's your comic relief, Antiwar? Oh wait....you're the comic relief. I can never keep you two straight.

Like the barbarian prince "Mohammed"?

Myself, I prefer Conan. More believable, kinder, more gentle, and infinitely more honorable.

#15  Jame - clarify it - when you say 'the rest of us', you mean 'the civilised world'.
Posted by: Bulldog   2005-02-21 8:02:07 AM  

#14  Well, Gentle, we do have pictures of a man that is claimed to be Zarqawi. There is an actual history of his existence and he regularly shows his mug on released tapes. If we only catch the guy who is masquerading as Zarqawi, that ought to be good enough.

BTW-Allah was the God of War of the old pantheon of tribal Gods, before Mohammed. Think about that for a moment and consider the mandate of Islam to force the rest of us to live under their rule.

#13  The signficant thing here is that the new Iraqi government regards the agony of a prolonged beheading to be torture and terrorism.

Sets the legal stage to try Zarqawi et al - i.e. this was not the act of a pious Muslim in accordance with the Quran, it was torture. Interesting.

#11  Hence the phrase moonbat
Posted by: Howard UK   2005-02-21 7:17:36 AM  

#10  Some muslims use the moon because we use "moon years", and "moon months" along with "sun years" and "sun months". Not something unique to Islam. Just an old custom kept.
Deah!

#9  Allah is your god, Gentle. A primitive deity who was originally a moon god (that's the the reason you guys use the crescent moon as a symbol for Islam). Not one of the better gods, if you ask me. And purely a figment of mens' imagination. What's he ever done for you?

BTW - You used to try to sound sensible. What happened?

Allah means God.

#7  Have you ever seen your brain, Bulldog?
Posted by: Gentle   2005-02-21 6:21:28 AM  

#6  There is no proof that this Al-Zarqawi is a living breathing person, is there?

I dunno. There's no proof that Allah exists, is there? Have you ever seen him?

BTW Zarqawi does exist. And he's one ugly mofo. You should be paying attention.

#5  "Security forces 'killed the terrorist ... known as Abu Rim ..."

With a Rim shot?

Seems to me like he might be an imaginary figure set up by some anti-iraq agency.

#2  It's a pityful damn shame that this particular beast couldn't have had his life extracted in a delicately slow but hideously painful manner for several weeks!!

At least now The HAGS of HELL have his rotten soul for an eternity!!!
