Iraqui PM's Family Kidnapped

CNN's been covering it, but it's buried in the story about the "slaughterhouses" the US soldiers found.
 
his 75 year old cousin and that cousins sister in law is the "family" kidnapped.

you seem very happy to hear this news.
 
A gruesome response to Fallujah..and a statement by the terro-insurgents (I claim first dibs on a new word!!) that they can strike anywhere and anybody.

I hope Iraqi/US security can track them down. Fallujah's a done deal.

I don't see anybody expressing happiness about this event, an event type which has become commonplace in Iraq over the last year.

What this portends, if anything, is whether or not the demands will be met given the identity of the hostages. So far the government has said NO. If that should change, then all the victims who have been beheaded to date because the kidnappers demands were not met, have truly died for nothing.
The interim government needs to be applauded for their
stance up to now.

It remains to be seen how this plays out. The best thing that could ever happen in such a situation is, of course, a sucessful rescue.

I see, secure in the fact that your bully won the election, you'll now go out of your way to lie about others positions in an attempt to further demonize them.

The OP looked like a report to me, no more and no less.

And, frankly, I think that the kidnappers are imbiciles if they think this is going to help their cause.

Cthulhu only knows what we'd do without the likes of you, patrick, and 1inChrist.

That's the first post of his that I've liked. Bravo NTW.
 
Yes, an excellent post NTW and an important if not grim suggestion on how the kidnapping and murder/beheadings of innocent people should be treated by the target/victims of such atrocities: each and every victim should be given martyr status. Bush and other world leaders as well as cooperative immans should go public calling for their martyrization and asking everyone to pray for them. We need to publish their color pictures suitable for framing so that their image hang on every wall of every home and shop in Iraq so their eyes follow their murderers around wherever they go.

A martyr's shrine should be errected ASAP in the middle of Baghdad engraved with their names and date or approximate date of death. Not something easy to topple, but something solid,
granite, in a memorial wall sort of setting with an eternal flame
fueled by local oil or gas and well guarded 24 X7 and flying the flags of the nationalities of those who were struck down.

The faithful should be encouraged to flock there or be bussed there to honor these innocent martyrs and pray for their eternal souls.

Gunmen kidnap 3 of Alawi's family

REUTERS [ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2004 12:45:28 AM]

BAGHDAD: Three members of Iraqi PM Iyad Allawi’s family have been kidnapped by gunmen, a spokesman for the Iraqi interim government said on Wednesday.

A first cousin of the prime minister, the cousin’s wife and another family member were seized from their home in Baghdad on Tuesday morning, spokesman Georges Sada said.

He gave no further details on the circumstances of their abduction, but a police source said there had been a short gun battle at the home in the capital before the people were seized. Sada said no demands had so far been made by the kidnappers.

“This is a close cousin — Allawi’s father and his father are brothers,” Sada said.

Over the same period, scores of foreigners have been seized, with many of them handed over to Islamic militant groups who have threatened to kill them if demands are not met. More than 35 foreign hostages have been killed, several by beheading.
