Militants: 12 Nepalese 'executed'....

One man aparently beheaded, 11 shot in head.   Nepal 

An Islamic Web site has posted gruesome still images and videos of what it says is the execution of 12 Nepalese hostages by a militant group in Iraq.


Footage posted on Tuesday showed one beheading and 11 others apparently shot from an assault rifle at the back of the head.


The video shows a masked man in desert camouflage apparently slitting the throat of a blindfolded man lying on the ground, The Associated Press reported.


The blindfolded man moans and a shrill wheeze is heard, then the masked man displays the head to the camera before resting it on the decapitated body.


CNN is working to confirm the authenticity of the images. The still images appear to have been taken from the video.


"We have carried out the sentence of God against 12 Nepalese who came from their country to fight the Muslims and to serve the Jews and the Christians ... believing in Buddha as their God," said a statement on the site by Jaish Ansar al-Sunna.


The claims came as another Islamic group held two French journalists hostage, threatening to kill them unless the government of France revokes a law banning Muslim children from wearing headscarves in public schools. (Full story)


The Web site statement vowed to keep fighting the Americans in Iraq.


"America today has used all its force, as well as the help of others, to fight Islam under the so-called war on terror, which is nothing but a vicious crusade against Muslims," the statement said.


At the end of the four-minute video, a man reads another statement off-camera, vowing to fight the Iraqi government.


"We will work on exterminating them until the last fighter," he said.


Iyad Mansoor, director-general of the Morning Star Company, a Jordan-based services firm which had contracted the 12 Nepalese workers for jobs in Iraq, said he had no information on the beheading of the Nepalese captives.


"I'm shocked to hear such news," he told AP. "The last I heard was that the Nepalese government was in contact with Iraqi clergymen and others in an effort to set the 12 men free."


Jaish Ansar al-Sunna said on August 23 it had kidnapped 12 Nepali citizens "for their cooperation with the United States in fighting Islam and its people" and described them as working for a Nepalese company that works under a Jordanian firm doing business in Iraq.


Last week a videotape was aired on the Arabic-language television network Al-Jazeera purportedly showing the 12.


Nepalese Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Prakash Sharan Mahat said then that his government had asked Al-Jazeera to help it establish a relationship with the militant group behind the abductions.


In that video, a masked man wearing military fatigues aimed a machine gun at the men.

Italy...For how long???

Another interesting figure I found was the total number of troops that these Countries supplied....Japan - 1,000...S. Korea - 3,000.....Italy - 2,000.....Poland - was suppose to send around 9,000 but could not find any information except for 2,600...Australia - 850..That is less than 10,000 troops.

The US has over 100,000. Only in Bush World is this considered not going it alone.

This should be all the evidence that people need to realize that our War on Terror is absolutely vital.

Some people insisted there are no terrorists in Iraq, and no link to terrorism in Iraq! Here is their wake up call.

Oh my gosh, you don't even realize when you are posting *good news* for our side. The first link you posted is a celebration of the fact that we turned over sovereignty to the Iraqi's and because of this we will be needed less troops there. Are you aware that Freerepublic.com is a right wing website? Your posts actually *support* our successes over there. Something I'm sure that you did accidentally.

The second story was written before we turned over sovereignty to the Iraqi's. Because the Iraqi's are now responsible for their own government - *more troops will not be needed*. Please re-read it. You will see that you also posted more success for our side (accidentally again?). The Austrailian PM said he would stay until the job was done. He won't be sending in more troops because after the Iraqi's regain sovereignty, he doesn't believe more troops will be needed.

Italy decided to stay until the end of the year because that's how long they expect that they will be needed. Again, good news.

America has the most troops there, yes, but it is insulting to these countries who have also sacrificed for this cause to completely discount them as if they did not exist. Kerry's condescending comments would come back to haunt him if he ever came close to being our next president.

These are actual quotes from John Forbes Kerry, are they not? Typically you cannot comment on the subject at hand, just attack the messenger, because that is all you have in your quiver.

I posted them for the numbers count. Unlike you I am capable of posting from the other side...I didn't want you to think I was making the numbers up. I hardly count the support of less than 10,000 allied troops "good news"...only in "your" world. And nothing I posted was insulting.

Completely discounting entire countries as if they did not exist is insulting to those countries. There's no getting around it.

Here is the quote (from you) that I was referring to: (after posting the troop numbers from our allies)... "The US has over 100,000. *Only in Bush World is this considered not going it alone.*"

That is condescending to our allies, is it not? When you say that we are "going it alone" you are proving that the help and sacrifices of our allies mean nothing to you. Kerry has the same condescending attitude toward our allies.
