Woman's torso found in Fallujah
AFP ^ | November 14, 2004 | AFP

Posted on 11/14/2004 2:58:25 AM PST by Eurotwit

THE body of a woman in her 60s, with her legs and arms cut off and throat slit was found today in the city of Fallujah but it was unclear whether she was a foreigner or an Iraqi, marines said.

The discovery was made as the marines moved through the south of Fallujah, hunting out the remaining die-hard rebels after a week of fierce fighting to regain control of the city.

An AFP photographer embedded with the marines said the woman had grey hair, was wearing a blue dress and her face was completely disfigured.

The marines said she appeared to have been on the street for about two days.

Sweeps of rubble-strewn neighbourhoods in Fallujah have already uncovered a grisly underworld of hostage slaughterhouses, prisons and torture chambers as well as the corpses of Iraqis who had been executed, marines say.

Surviving hostages have also been found, but only one has been a foreigner - a Syrian driver who was abducted with two French journalists in August.

Two foreign women have been abducted in Iraq and remain missing.

British aid worker Margaret Hassan, 59, was snatched from her home in Baghdad last month and Teresa Borcz, 54, a Pole has also been kidnapped.

Both women also hold Iraqi citizenship after marrying Iraqis.

The Polish woman did have grey hair, didn't she?

Fallujah should have suffered the fate of Sodoma and Gomorra (sp?). This is too disturbing.

Fallujah: Resistance goes on as body of ''Western'' woman found

14-11-2004, 11:05

U.S. military officials have said the city of Fallujah was almost under control of American forces but Iraqi resistance elements continued to fight, reports said on Sunday. U.S. sources indicated that resistance had not been entirely subdued and that it still could take several days of fighting to clear the final pockets.

Maj. Gen. Richard Natonski, commander of the 1st Marine Division, said Sunday that more than 1,200 "insurgents" have been killed since the operation was launched.

Overnight, U.S. planes attacked Fallujah and the nearby Amiriyah, and clashes broke out north of Baghdad.

The Fallujah raid killed some 30 American troops. Three marines were killed Saturday in a blast as they entered a booby-trapped building in the center of the city, while another 13 were injured in a firefight nearby, a marine officer said, according to AFP.

U.S. Marines on Sunday found the mutilated body of what they believed was a Western woman during the sweep in Fallujah. The body was lying in the street covered with a blood-soaked cloth.

AFP said the body was of a blonde-haired woman with her legs and arms cut off and throat slit. The woman was wearing a blue dress and her face was completely disfigured. The marines said she appeared to have been on the street for about two days. (albawaba.com)

Somehow, the abuses at Abu Ghraib do not seem quite as gruesome now, in fact, have paled into relative insignificance. And that was supposed to be the source of rage for the "freedom fighters" of Fallujah (as they were designated by Michael Moore, American Hatriot).

This is way past the point of "getting even".

To call them terrorists would be a compliment....They are the animals that evolution forgot. That's why I hate to see terrorist prison camps. They shouldn't even have the right to surrender.

Maybe this is just anger speaking, but I cannot seem to elevate their status to members of the human race.

Exactly! I don't know why they didn't send troops in immediately after the contractors were murdered! It should have been an IMMEDIATE response. Then they would have gotten zarqawi as well. Of course, our military would have had to have worked around the 'civilian' population (or, should I say the 'non-terrorist' population).

you know, when 9/11 happened, i thought, "well, everyone will understand that something needs to be done. this is a righteous cause to take out these monsters."

and as time wears on, wow, somehow they've managed to justify even this kind of behavior. breathtaking and shocking.

sometimes i think we are living in an alternate universe. it's completely astounding.

I think it's time to stop that. Bush is into his second term, and he really has nothing to lose by taking the gloves off. The lamestream media has vilified him from day one. Democrat politicians have worked feverishly to discredit Bush, and hamstring his every effort. He has walked through the shitstorm of negativity, and has come out walking tall.

Once he takes that new broom and finally cleans house, the howls of liberal outrage will be deafening. Imo, he finally has the green light to be more agressive in America's defense. Who cares how loud they howl? Bush has major support from Americans, not liberal weinies. The weinies can make good on their promises to emigrate to other countries.

We cannot depend on most other countries to help. Except for a handful of countries that refuse to be cowed, the rest of them are waving white flags and bending over, not to mention the UN. We have four years to stomp the terrorists out of existence. If we don't, we'll have endless 9/11's, Achille Lauros, nonstop Madrids, Balis, and relentless attacks on innocent citizens in Israel.

Completely horrible. Yes, they are evil. More importantly they are stuck in a time warp. They simply don't understand American resolve. We don't go out in droves like the hippies(for lack of a better word), and protest the war. This gives the terrorists a false impression of Americans and the West in general.

They're evil, but also backwards and ignorant in many respects. Their religion is the work of the devil, and crafty rulers such as Arafat and Saddam take advantage of this to further their agenda. Osama bint Laden is probably the one who actually follows the precepts of this "religion". The other two broke all the rules, and lived high off the hog. Ooops, bad pun? Beware of the true believers, because the only solution is a final one. They cannot be converted or tamed.

Agreed. Hopefully, we've learned. Now there is no political risk back home. Smash them with increasing swiftness and brutality. It is all they understand.

Well, the Brits are hanging, and go figure this, the Italians haven't done an El Foldo, either.

The Poles said they may go home next year, and the Dutch were going to go home, but now that Islamofascists are murdering them in their own streets, they may want to reconsider that one and rediscover the manhood that once made Holland a world empire.

Bad news for the Islamofascists if they do. The Dutch have been gone from the East Indies for 40 years, and the Indonesians still hate their guts. The Dutch taught them the difference between civilized and uncivilized, kicked their @sses and taught them how to bark like a dog. They still remember that.

No, that's what they wanted. It was set up as a "the whole world is watching" situation, intended to radicalize the rest of the Iraqi population.

Now we're back, the Iraqi Army is in it, and it isn't just a U.S. punitive, "revenge" expedition.

But the guys who pulled that body-burning stunt are all going to die. Sooner or later, they'll be pulled out into the open and killed, one way or another.

Margaret Hassan, tortured to death by the Muslims.
All this woman did and all she wanted to do, was to comfort the Muslim sick, comfort the Muslim hungry, comfort the Muslim dispair.

In return, the Muslims mutilate her to death.

But this is exactly as God predicted it would be with the Muslims (Ishmalites)...Genesis 16:11 "Ishmael will be a wild ass, his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him."

And so it is, and so it will be.

Why are we surprised to find these things in Falluja. They are the same things these Iraquis have been doing to their own people for years. This is nothing new to the slime we are chasing. Why do you think they do these things, they enjoy them, they are fighting so they can continue doing what they enjoy. We are fighting a country full of the criminally insane.Psychiapathic killers in the guise of some sort of military. not just some nut like Manson locked up in a jail , but thousands of them who love what they are doing.

Since the terrorists don't seem to understand USA's ability to end the reign of terror, I submit this suggestion:

After Fallujah is taken, declare the area a "dead zone" and immediately withdraw all troops and then drop the big bomb and completely destroy the city, leaving a huge crater as an example of what is possible.

Then, through the propaganda machine, get out the message that in the future, rather than expending troops time, effort, and lives, whenever a city is overrun by enemies of the Iraqi government, the inhabitants will get a 2-day warning to evacuate the city -- then the city will be leveled. (All of this with the approval of the new Iraqi government, of course.)

The city would be bombed to the ground, all physical property would be destroyed, and the only human life lost would be because they CHOSE to stay in the targeted city.

In addition, some educational efforts should be made to publicize exactly how WWII was ended -- those graphics should be of shown far and wide. It will get their attention and capture their imagination. Apparently, some people in Middle East are not aware of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nor of America's will and willingness to make the hard choices.

Am I being too harsh? I am sick of the sacrifice of our finest -- when there are more expedient ways.

War is hell and I'm sick of our attempts to make it a "semi-hell". Let's end it now, by air attacks. Enough of the ground-to-ground fighting.

Flame away!

The killers purposely mutilated the body, thinking to make identification impossible.

They had not heard of DNA.

Please, God, give me strength to restrain myself next time some liberal idiot starts telling me how we should not have attacked Fallujah!

There should be no further discussion when it comes to fighting terrorism.
