Women beheaded? [The two Simonas beheaded?]

DUBAI: A second group yesterday claimed to have beheaded two women Italian aid workers held hostage in Iraq, in a statement on the Internet, following a similar unconfirmed claim from another group.

The authenticity of the claims could not be verified.

"The heads of the two Italian criminals, Italian intelligence agents Simona Terretta and Simona Pari, were mercilessly cut off with a knife," said the latest statement attributed to a group calling itself Ansar Al Zawahiri.

The group, whose name was taken from Ayman Al Zawahiri, the Egyptian number two in the Al Qaeda terror network, said a video would be released to prove its claim.

The statement was posted on a site (http://www.alezah.com/vb/) rarely used by Islamist groups.

Earlier, another statement on the Internet from a group calling itself the Jihad Organisation claimed it had "slaughtered" the two women.

Pari and Torretta, both 29, were snatched from their offices in the Iraqi capital on September 7.

"Mercilessly" indeed. These women were selfless saints, as far as I can tell. Look how their efforts were repaid.

Isn't it just a matter of time before they start beheading woman and children?

OK, selfless saints. But they were pro-palestine from all the press reports I read. That doesn't make them bad ... and NO ONE deserves to die in Iraq. But they were not on the American side.

I think the terrorists will quickly find that cutting off the heads of women and then releasing videos of the atrocities will not be in their best interests. The ensuing outrage will all but force the pols to take off the gloves (which should've been off a long time ago).

All right, then--selfless but deluded. Their deaths were still hideous and unwarranted.

An added disgusting tidbit: I think I heard that Zarqarwi's group "bought" them from their original kidnappers. Don't know if that's the case.

ugh. I thought they were not going to behead women (since all the victims so far have been men).

The Islamists once surrounded a whole city with the heads of British men, women and children. Events like that led to Britain later allowing Islamists to flood into Israel while trying to keep the Jews out (British Mandate, AKA "Palestinian" Mandate).

Pari and Torretta were working for the Italian charity Un Ponte Per Baghdad (Bridge to Baghdad) which has been a long-standing opponent of Western policy towards Iraq.

The group campaigned vigorously against the crippling UN sanctions enforced against Iraq from its 1990 invasion of Kuwait right up to last year.

******

“The heads of the two criminal agents of Italian intelligence, Simona Pari and Simona Torretta have been chopped off by knife without pity or mercy.”

It should not suprise anyone that these Islamo-Fascist pigs would kill women.
The goal is to kill all Westerners, men, women and children. Everyone should see these videos of the beheadings so they can understand what we are really up against.

If they really took the islamic side on that, I can't really pity them when they get their heads chopped off.

Sadly, it's probably a wakeup call that anyone who is pro-islam needs to get.

Dear Brave, Valiant Warriors of Allah:

My God told me to tell you that your god was the devil.

How long before these swine are taken down? I find it hard to believe that there's no one capable of hunting these down and killing them in a manner befitting their thoroughly evil lives.

None of that matters.
It's not about these women or what they have done or believe. It's all about using the media. It's about intimidation.
It's about sensationalizing every death.

If they release the video . . . I don't think people appreciate the power and potential for danger these guys are wielding with their video taped atrocities. Also read today that some vendors are selling DVDs of the atrocities in Arab countries.

U.S. needs to adopt some policy - Sell Snuff, Get Snuffed - to deal harshly with this stuff. It's incredibly dangerous. It's basically like a form of porn to these deviant cultures.

I really don't understand why Bush isn't getting medieval on these savages. We need to provide a ruthless, merciless opposition to the Iranian groups and Baathists and what not until the Iraqi civilian government gets on its feet.

This stuff with the videos is going to get very bad before it's over. Very out of control.

I didn't say it was about the women. That was for information and not in any way suggesting they deserved it. I know what they are doing is to get people to be afraid of living there. It won't work.

Couldn't agree more. Where are the "Peaceful Iragui's to help us. Are they all living in America. We wouldn't know because they are so SILENT and when oh when are they going to speak out against the violence. Stop all Middle Eastern immigration now. We are at war. Where is this Bastard Zarkawi,however you spell the murderers name, hiding!!!
Come on Iragi free people, time to help the coalition.
Iragi's living in the U.S.,leave your Burka behind. You came here for freedom. Act like your grateful to be here.
Sorry for the rant.
