Soldiers discover 3 murdered women in Doura
2007-08-02
Multi-National Division-Baghdad troops found the bodies of three women murdered by terrorists believed to be associated with Al Qaeda in the Southern part of the capital July 29. Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Division received information from local nationals stating that gunmen came to a house in Doura where the women were staying, executing three of four people there before fleeing the scene. An elderly woman was spared from the killings.

“This is Al Qaeda at its absolute worst,” said Col. Ricky D. Gibbs, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division commander. “This is one more series of brutal murders that completely contradict the terrorists’ assertions that they are here to protect the Iraqi people.”

The women were allegedly related to several individuals who were detained earlier on suspected anti-coalition activities, but no other leads were available.

#3  Gladys,
If this story hit the MSM it would be as a combination with the story above it ("U.S. Special Forces called in precision aerial fires that resulted in four insurgents killed."), and would be written thus:
'Soldiers discover three women murdered and one terrified by US aerial fires in Doura.'

Does this kind of news make it into the main stream media?
