TIKRIT, Iraq, Aug 31 (AFP)

A radical Iraqi insurgent group claimed Tuesday that it had killed three "Mossad agents" in Iraq and holding another hostage along with a Turkish truck driver accused of working for US-led forces.

The claim was included in a statement plastered on walls in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit and signed by the "Horror Brigades", a previously unknown division of the Secret Islamic Army which is holding three Indians, three Kenyans and an Egyptian.

"A group from our brigade killed three infidel Zionist Mossad agents after kidnapping them and burning their car yesterday (Monday) on the road between Tikrit and Mosul," the statement read.

"We are still holding a fourth Zionist as evidence to condemn the United States of infidels and their dirty plot to destroy Islam and Iraq through Zionist methods," it said. ..

2. Well, if this is true, it will be huge for more reasons than one.

We must, however, wait for confirmation about this.

3. They claim they've got the proof.

Would be hard to dispute bonafide evidence. From the article:

The criminal (hostage) confessed that they came to Iraq after reaching a deal with the infidel occupiers in order to train US forces in guerrilla warfare, under the cover of working for a private security company," the statement said.

"He also confirmed that, along with 100 others, he had interrogated detainees inside infidel US prisons, even women, in collaboration with US intelligence."

4. Why isn't this being "breaking news" all over the networks and cable?

This is very big. It portends to really unite the Islamic world and maybe even put our so-called Arab allies in a tight spot...this is much more important than the RNC convention. The convention will be over in two days...this will not.

Killing jews is old news. The ME is pretty united on that front.

7. Notice the incredible amount of shit blowing up?

Russia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel.

Could there possibly be a pattern, could there possibly be a big nasty terror network trying to get a certain scumbag (that'd be Whistleass) to notice. Maybe their absentee vote.

Plus dead Nepalese hostages. Pending French hostages, Israeli hostages.

Not to mention the usual torture and treason stories that don't earn ink. No doubt a bunch of other stuff that's not being covered, swiftly swept away, or just not googled while we debate every bit of the GOP's slime ball minutiae. Playing someone else's game. Just my take, your mileage may vary. (Though I suspect I will go into Reagan funeral mode and tune out everything shortly.)
