bathory Posted June 23, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Korean beheaded, US launches strike 10:58 AEST Wed Jun 23 2004 AP - Islamic militants beheaded a South Korean who pleaded in a heart-wrenching videotape that "I don't want to die" after his government refused to pull its troops from Iraq. He was the third foreign hostage decapitated in the Middle East in little over a month. Hours later, the United States launched an airstrike in Fallujah on what the US military said was a safehouse used by followers of the country's most-wanted terrorist: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian whose Monotheism and Jihad movement was believed behind the beheading of the hostage, Kim Sun-il. Fallujah residents said the strike hit a parking lot. Three people were killed and nine wounded, said Dr Loai Ali Zeidan at Fallujah Hospital. It was the second attack against the terror network in three days, the US military said. Elsewhere, two American soldiers were killed and another was wounded in an attack on a convoy near Balad, 80 kilometres north of Baghdad. The dean of the University of Mosul law school was murdered and her husband seriously injured in another attack against the country's intellectual elite.

The only groups that benefit from this are, "Nazis, Communists" and our good old fundamentalist theocracy supporters:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
