Nepalese Hostages in Iraq Shown Killed
August 31, 2004
BAGHDAD, Iraq — A gruesome video posted on a Web site purported to show militants beheading a Nepalese worker and shooting 11 others in the first mass slaying of foreign hostages during the Iraqi insurgency.
If confirmed, it would raise the number of foreign workers known to have been slain by extremists to at least 22 in a terror campaign aimed at forcing foreign troops and contract workers out of the country.
Interim Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi (search) promised retribution. "The only solution with this unjust group is to make them face justice," he angrily told the Arab-language Al-Arabiya television station.
In Nepal, relatives grieved after hearing the news. "What sins have I committed to deserve this?" said Jit Bahadur Khadka, the father of one of those reportedly killed, 19-year-old Ramesh Khadka.
In another hostage crisis, French officials held talks in Paris and around the Arab world in hopes of saving the lives of two journalists held by other insurgents in Iraq. The kidnappers set a Wednesday deadline for France rescind its ban on Muslim head scarves in French schools, a demand France has said it won't meet.
But it wasn't immediately clear when the deadline expired. Some officials thought Wednesday morning, but the head of the Arab League, Amr Moussa, said his group had been told the deadline was Wednesday night.
Guerrillas in Iraq have taken more than 100 foreigners hostage in recent months, often demanding that their home countries withdraw troops from the U.S.-led coalition or pull out their citizens doing civilian work. Some have demanded that a hostage's employer promise to halt all business here.
Nepal, which has no troops in Iraq, has long banned its citizens from working in Iraq because of security concerns.

Why is this story being almost ignored?
12 human beings have been slaughtered
I posted it here earlier on today.
Killed for being NM (non Muskim).
Because it might look bad for the "Religion of Peace", silly.

I saw the beheading video. I am a Nam Vet and it is worse than anything I saw over there. I SUGGEST THAT YOU NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO unless you are ready to have nightmares for a while.
Because it's routine for Islam to behead it's enemies (everyone non-Islamic.) Plus, there are lots of news stories ... Michael Moore was at the RNC, and 11 trillion 'mainstream Americans' are protesting the nazi-emperialist Bush in NYC.
Maybe Kerry should make a statement to the French about his novel idea of "sensitivity". I'm sure they'd appreciate it. LOL!
I try to e-mail the embassies when a foreign person is killed by terrorists. I tell them Americans are sorry and that I will pray for the families. This was a really dreadful atrocity.
The e-mail for the Nepal Embassy in Washington is

I am going to mail the French, but I guess I won't say something mean-spirited. They seem really shocked. Hello!
Bingo
Thanx for the warning.
I never watch. That's what Al Jazeera wants us to do.
Thanx for that address
Islam sure looks like the religion of peace every day don't it?

Let the gurkhas loose in iraq. They'll take care of the problem and have the terrorists begging for the 'panties on head' torture.
