New Wave of Video Beheadings Aimed at 'American Slaves'

New propaganda videos show al Qaeda-connected terrorists carrying out the beheadings of captured Pakistani soldiers, labeled "slaves to America."
One edited video, obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com, shows several teenage boys carrying out the decapitation of a Pakistani soldier with crude knives and then holding the severed, bleeding head with its military beret still in place.
THE BLOTTER RECOMMENDS
In a brief speech to the camera before the execution, the speaker says the soldier must die because he is a "slave to America."
"These videos are put out by these terrorists off and on to create a feeling of fear and insecurity among civilians," Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad said of the video. "Whenever it's a beheading of a civilian or the military, it's of great concern to all people in the country."
Several hundred Pakistani soldiers are being held in the country's lawless tribal areas after being surrounded by militants.
Military sources in Islamabad report another beheading this week of paramilitary troops from Pakistan's Frontier Corps.

Children now beheading people? Several pakistan military being held in the lawless tribal area’s of Pakistan and other areas?
Isn’t this the same area that Musharref had surrounded about 6 months ago, then backed off after the tribal idiots said they would stop committing terrorist acts if the military withdrew?
HAHAHAHA. What a bunch of idiots?

Anytime the Pakistan Army fights a battle this will give them encourgement to fight these sicko religious nut cases to the death. The Taliban nor al Queda care if they poison young children into doing their dirty work for them. And people in the US wonder why we are over there. Given the way the US State Department has handed out Visa's in the past, there is no doubt many of those same type of people are over here in the US.

Jerry, it is a peaceful religion, but unfortunately, like the US congress, everyone has their innovators in society. In our case, the Talib, Al Qaeda and extremist like Abu Hamza.

A nuclear armed Pakistan in the hands of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, is a lot more worrying than imaginary nuclear weapons in Iran.

What's wrong with these people....actually more sub-human in reality...
And yet...SOME in this country want these people to have all the rights of a US citizen in court...
Go figure...

Jerry - do you seriously confuse Islamic radicals with all Muslims? That's like saying that the IRA represents all Catholics.
Posted by: Bill Mullins | Oct 30, 2007 3:48:15 PM
Jerry, Why blame the religion? When America drops bombs on civilians, do you blame Christianity? Can you discern the bias and bigotry?
Posted by: falwell | Oct 30, 2007 3:48:34 PM
Kathy - why do you keep confusing the actions of violent radicals with the beliefs of all Muslims? That would be like judging all Americans by the actions of the Ku Klux Klan.

How do you know that it is not the CIA or the Mossad that is behind this? Really - who is behind this?

This is the very place where Bin Laden and a few other high value targets are suspected to be hiding.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

John Mcgilvray - To answer your question, yes, Christians ARE less violent. To prove my point, just ask yourself this question - if you were being held as a prisoner of war, would you rather be held by a Christian or a Muslim? To me, the answer is obvious. Christians are more compassionate. Yes, a Christian could push a button to drop a bomb from a B-52, as could a Muslim, but he could likely not terrorize someone by beheading him in front of a video camera to be shown to their family. You may not see a difference, but I do. Don't lump Christians in with these hate-filled barbarian lunatics, and brainwashed al-Qaeda teenagers.

History smishistory....what you do in the here and now is what counts and we can all see the blood on the knife and the headless bodies. Wake up people, before it happens here.

Fadeel, how do you know that the CIA or Mossad IS behind this? Because your radical muslim leaders tell you so?! How silly! The overstretched CIA and Mossad have much better ways of spending their time but, quite apparently, al Qaeda's idle young recruits do not.

We should be in Pakistan to do something about bin Laden. Instead we're in Iraq fighting terrorists that were never there before we came. The War on Terror is a sham. It's a war to get oil. If the Bush administration was serious about fighting terrorism, Osama Bin Laden would not be still be free in Pakistan to rebuild Al-Quaeda with these kids.

God bless our troops in harms way and around the world. Keep safe and take down these monsters with extreme prejudice.

I have not heard one positive word about muslims, mohammed or islam. Is this where we are going? If we nuke the mountain regions of pakistan and afghanistan, will this cause other terrorist to rise up or step down? I don't think it could hurt at this point. God bless our troops and GW.

When are we going to hear the deafening outcry or see the Muslims protesting against the highjacking of their religion?
Their silence speaks volumes.
