US Marine beheaded in Iraq

[Maxi]

DUBAI (Reuters) - The militant group the Army of Ansar al-Sunna said in an Internet statement that it had beheaded a U.S. marine kidnapped in Iraq and was holding another "infidel" hostage.

"We tell your leadership that we beheaded the marine of Lebanese origin Hassoun and you will see the film with your own eyes soon," said the Arabic-language statement, which was carried on at least two Islamic Web sites on Saturday.

Arabic television Al Jazeera last Sunday screened a video tape of militants holding a blindfolded Wassef Ali Hassoun with a sword poised over his head. They demanded the release of prisoners in Iraq.

It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the statement, which was addressed to President Bush and advised him to withdraw his troops from Iraq.

"Your soldier had romantic relations with an Arab girl and he was lured away from his base," the statement said.

"And we will soon issue a new tape showing a new infidel hostage," it said without giving the nationality of the hostage.

The U.S. military has said that Hassoun had been absent from his unit since June 21, but could not confirm he had been abducted.

Please please...don't let this turn into another anti-US/pro-US flame war over the Iraq issue - I beg this of you all. There are quite enough threads dedicated to that anyway.

They cannot stop because they are savage animals and have to be eliminated before they get their hands on something more destructive than a knife.

sad news, but less shocking the more it happens.

personally I think for everyone one non-fanatical civilian who's beheaded they should behead three fanatical Iraqi's and broadcast it on Al-Jazeera, just to show the freaks that shit like that is un-acceptable.

Attention whores.

It shouldn't suprise anyone that the terrorists have never heard of the Geneva convention. Then again, neither have the Americans. Maybe they should go into the desert and rape, maim, kill, mutilate and torture each other until they are all dead. Then we can use their remains as fertilizer.
