Iraq
No evidence US marines captured
2005-10-03
The U.S. military said on Sunday there was no indication to suggest that two Marines had been seized by militants in western Iraq, as earlier claimed by a militant group, but said checks were being made.

"There are no indications that Al Qaeda claims of having kidnapped two Marines in western Iraq are true," Major Neil Murphy said in a statement.

"Multi-National Force West is conducting checks to verify all Marines are accounted for," he said.

Earlier, in a statement posted on an Islamic website, al Qaeda in Iraq claimed to have seized two Marines in western Iraq, where U.S. forces are conducting an operation against suspected insurgents hiding out near the Syrian border.

#10  As this thread illustrates, we've got one weapons that drives the jihadis nuts - a sense of humor. We're way funnier than they are. Zark can't hold a candle to Leno. We should be using this more often to our advantage - would truly drive them nuts to have them realize just how ridiculous they really are.

#7  Damn, they kilt Cody agin! Bastages. Good thing AQ's rant is for the regional audience where the standards for truth and accountability are, em, a little less stringent.

"...Yes America, you must believe us for we have your Marine's identification papers taken from his very pockets! So we tell you one last time - free our beloved women prisoners or we will severely punish Private Juicyfruit!!"
