Post; Tawhid and Jihad group have killed a second hostage in Iraq


Quote:
The Tawhid and Jihad group, led by al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said on its Web site it had killed American Jack Hensley, 48, because its demands had not been met 24 hours after they had beheaded his compatriot Eugene "Jack" Armstrong.

The Tawhid and Jihad group claimed on their website that they have killed the second american hostage yesterday.
It has not officially been confirmed yet, but a beheaded body has been found in the Baghdad area.

They threated to behead a third hostage (British), unless all female prisoners at the Abu Ghraib and Umm Qasr jails are released..
But there are only one problem, U.S. military says there are no women in either of the named prisons, and only two women in U.S. detention in Iraq...

The kidnaps and beheadings may have had a reason in the very beginning. But now there are nothing short of an excuse to kill supporters of the US.

Yet the Arab League of Nations will not come out and condem the beheadings.
