Islamic State of Iraq' airs murders

2007-03-04

An al-Qaida-affilated organization posted an online video Saturday of the execution-style shooting of 18 Iraqi security troops kneeling on the ground near a citrus grove. The three-minute video, on a Web site previously used by the Islamic State of Iraq, claimed the 18 kidnapped government security forces were slain in retaliation for the alleged rape of a Sunni woman by members of the Shiite-dominated police. The video's authenticity could not be immediately verified.

The tape firsts depicts the 18 men, some in Iraqi military uniforms, blindfolded, hands tied behind their backs and lined up in three rows before a screen. The men in the front row are kneeling. Armed masked men were seen pointing machine-guns at the captives. Male voices chant repeatedly in Arabic during the video: "At your service, sister" a likely reference to the revenge for the allegedly raped Sunni woman.

Another male voice is heard reading from the Islamic State of Iraq's statement posted on the same Web site Friday, saying the group's court has ordered the 18 security troops executed because Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government failed to meet the group's demands to hand over the officers who allegedly assaulted the Sunni woman in Baghdad last month, and to release all Sunni women detainees from Iraqi prisons.

#4 Way OT...

Some, not many, but some on this board have asked - from time to time - about the whereabouts of Zenster.

I had a Zenster sighting today at Jihad Watch.

I THINK it was "our" Zenster. I think it was Z-man because he signed off as Zenster. What tipped me off is that - God love 'em, - he was "bolding" the names of those he specifically addressed in like fashion to RB's Zenster. A quirk, but a Zenster quirk.

For what it's worth, he also making strong and cogent arguments against islam: Almost as if he had been trained in his formative years at RB.

FYI...

#3 PS....love the new Uruk-Hai gif. IIRC, this is the scene where Boramear takes the third or fourth arrow into his chest. (Great movie. Instructive for those interested in the War on Jihad or in the Defense of Civilization.)

#2 A-mouse...muzzie logic? LOL. Check this out:

There is a thread over at Jihad Watch I've been reading since this morning (scroll way down into yesterday's postings) where Robt. Spencer takes on a semi famous self proclaimed moderate muzzie named Ali Eteraz. Eteraz takes the position that moderate muslims are all around us. How do we know? He says we know this because we never hear from them. He actually argues that moderate muslisms are delibrately silent and their silence is an active protest against the extremists among them. He says the proof of the existence of moderate muslims is that they are deliberately SILENT and inactive in the face of the extremists. Ali believes inaction = action on the part of the moderates.

And all this time you were worried the infidel were outnumbered by the muzzie extremists. Feel better now?

#1 That makes total sense to me. Go round up random shia cops, and execute them while the alleged culprits escape. Must be muzzie logic....from an alternate universe.
