Officer's body burnt in 'Islamic revenge'

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 am in full agreement with you on this one!!

It is WAR!! And it is about the crazed muslim religionists who think non-muslims should be dead or in chains.

[Libertina]

Hard to admit there are people who are so barbaric - though I don't know why, we see it all the time. Night now, Lion, I need to get some sleep :) Take care :)

Shockingly similar rites happened in Kosovo by Albanian muslims against dead Serbians. Not revenge... just evil nutter albanians. Some of the graves in one Cathedral were those of long dead Archbishops, priests and nuns.

Night to you all. I am about to hit the hay as well.

Good night.

Will "dig up" YUK! The Article later... I promise.

I find it interesting that The Telegraph article is the only one I've read which mentions this. A search of yahoo news links to the story, but they all omit this.

Is Spain muslim?

[ClancyJ]

Spain may obey the terrorists and by doing so, have given up their freedom. Now, they are under the rule of the terrorists.

We will now see the terrorists push their power over their new nation.

[The Duke]

Maybe the people of Spain should go hide in France?

[Radu4244]

Speaking of religion, how about we fill a few bunker busters with pig blood and entrails and threateb to drop them on Mecca if they don't stop the terrorism?

[GeronL]

They seem to be headed that way

[Savage Beast]

Oh this is just the beginning. Spain's in for a bumpy ride. Apparantly the Spanish took a siesta on a very important day in history class.

[nopardons]

Quite a lot of it used to be and they want it back.

Maybe the chicken,who just got himslef elected president, with the aid of the terrorists,sholuld untomb El Cid, strap what's left of his corpse to a horse, and drive it through wherever the Muslims are now living.

When you dig up that article, would you mind pinging me to it?

[DustyMoment]

My sympathies lie with the family of the officer. They had a right to mourn and try to go on. This is beneath contempt.

For Spaniards in general, they need to become accustomed to these despicable acts of bestiality. When the caved to AQ after the bombings in Madrid, they thought they were applying a formula for peace. Instead, all they have done is made themselves the newest whipping boy of every Islamic fanatic, lunatic, terrorist and moron with a messianic complex.

Had they stood up and fought back in their election, they (likely) would not be facing the same disgusting beaviors by people stuck in the 13th Century. Muslims understand only one thing - an eye for an eye. Only, with them, it makes an impression when they are hit harder. Spain will not know peace and tranquility for the next several years.

I share this computer with my adult daughter ... it is her's actually. : ^ ) .

I am an old retired guy(for many years now) and computer work is not my strong point. I did not save the e-mail or very many that I receive because I do not want to take up much space on her computer. So, now I have to figure out how to find the entire article on the web.

I have a Doctor's appointment with lab tests today so, I will do what I can today and try to find the entire article. I had surgery not long ago... and may be going back for more. Darn it.

I really do not know how to link so I will send you the location.

That article was so gross that I began to feel that we are dealing with some kind of modern BARBARIANS in the Albanian muslims of Kosovo. Destruction of Churches is bad enough but prying open graves and tossing the dead around is INHUMAN!! Why, it is something you would expect from a jackel.

It was the Czech soldiers, not the Danish. The Danish have been particularly rotten in Kosovo.

Czechs hold line in Kosovo

The Spanish turned tail and are running out of Iraq, and a US and Bush supporting government is gone.

What is so suprising about this? When you turn tail from a rabid dog, does it not chase you down?

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

I don't understand why the Islamists are so filled with anger still. Didn't they get what they wanted? The Spanish turned tail and are running out of Iraq, and a US and Bush supporting government is gone.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

Arghh! Why is it posting my posts when I wanted to review them?
