Officer's body burnt in 'Islamic revenge'
The Telegraph ^ | 20/04/2004 | Isambard Wilkinson

The body of a police special forces officer who died when Islamic terrorists blew themselves up in Madrid was taken from its grave, mutilated and burnt yesterday.

The coffin and body of special agent Francisco Javier Torronteras were pulled from the tomb in Madrid Sur cemetery in Carabanchel and pushed 1,000 yards in a wheelbarrow before being doused with petrol and set alight.

The body was found with a pick driven into its head and a spade dug into its chest.

Although no motive was immediately apparent, police speculated that it could be the work of sympathisers of the Moroccan terrorist group that carried out the train bomb attacks in the Spanish capital on March 11, killing 192 people and injuring 1,900.

The interior ministry said the act of desecration could have been part of "an Islamic rite of revenge".

Agent Torronteras, 41, was killed leading a Special Operations Group team to dislodge terrorists suspected of the Madrid massacre last month.

The seven terrorists blew themselves up in a flat in the Madrid suburb of Leganes a fortnight ago as police moved in to arrest them, injuring 11 other policemen. At least three had been accused of the railway bombings.

Police said the attack on the grave was carried out by at least two people who prised the marble headstone off with a jemmy.

Security was strengthened at the cemetery, where the smell of burning still lingered yesterday afternoon.

Police have provisionally charged 18 people over the railway bombings.

I don't understand why the Islamists are so filled with anger still. Didn't they get what they wanted?

Their hatred is insatiable. They won't be satisfied until the entire world is bowing to Allah. Even then, the murder will not stop -- it's inherent to their cultist "religion".

The sooner the rest of the world realizes that these are animals we're fighting.........not people...........the sooner they'll get off their lily-white asses and help us exterminate them.

Sounds like Spain has found a real partner in peace with these terrorists they have acquiesced to.

By the time the WOT ends, there will be millions dead. The question is: on which side?

I see no good reason that the millions of dead should not be on their side. Only we have the means to inflict casualties on such a scale. And inflict them we will, but not before another 9/11-magnitude attack. Unfortunately, that's what it will take to brush aside the naysayers and those who think the WOT should be a police matter. Likely targets will be those who have been warned all along: those that harbor, train, and indocrinate terrorists such as Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and perhaps Pakistan.And we must not forget North Korea if they supply nukes to the terrorists.

I put it at a round billion.

BTW, I thought 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia and we should be looking at Saudi Arabia instead of other Muslim countries? So how come the Madrid train bombers came from Morocco? That's because the boundaries are artificial. Morocco to Indonesia should be looked at as one big cesspool called Ummah.

Makes you wonder what the "humanity" was like in pre-civilization days.

This is like watching a human version of Jurassic Park...no joke.

In March in Kosovo, THOUSANDS upon thousands of albanian muslims went on quite a rampage. They destroyed 35 churches, thousands of Serbian homes and burned several Serbian people alive.

During this rampage they attacked a groups of Danish peacekeepers at a Church which was filled with Serbian civilians.

The Danes were interviewed by the media from Denmark. And these peacekeepers discribed the attack of the Albanians. The Albanians torn open graves, new and old... torn up bodies and threw bones and body parts all around the grave yard and the church.

The Danes said that they, themselves were VOMITTING in disgust of such barbaric and unhuman behavior.

The Danes were attacked with firebombs and rocks. They and the Serbians managed to escape only when re-enforcements from NATO arrived and drove off the wild, marauding albanian beasts.

Trust an Albanian muslim or any muslim at this time.... no, not me ... I will not!!

I read about this when another freeper emailed me with the information from the press in Denmark.

It will take more than one major attack here at home before we decide on war.

Shame on you, Meg! Mutilating a "Muslim" is un-Islamic... Mutilating a non-believer is priceless! /s

Yes, and I've pretty well had it with my government & lefties telling me that we aren't in a *religious* war. Of course we are.

What "Islamic rite of revenge" is he talking about? Does anyone know?

Dagnabit... I will have to hunt it down later today.

It was just disgusting I tell you. Disgusting. I was so surprised that out allies the albanians in Kosovo would act like that.

Not only grave destruction but firebombing those folks, the peacekeepers, who made it possible for them to STEAL Kosovo from it's rightful owners. Have they NO shame/pride?

I for one am really worried that Spain is going to get hit and hit again by terrorists. Those muslims love to bite/chomp the hand that gives them stuff and gives in to them.
