Ambush Kills 50 Iraq Soldiers Execution Style
In the deadliest ambush of the insurgency, guerrillas dressed as policemen killed about 50 freshly trained Iraqi soldiers in remote eastern Iraq as the unarmed soldiers were heading home on leave Saturday evening, Iraqi officials said Sunday.
bq. The soldiers were taken from three minibuses at a fake checkpoint about 95 miles northeast of Baghdad, near the Iranian border in restive Diyala Province, police officials said. They were told or forced to lie down on the ground in rows, then killed mostly with bullets to their heads.
bq. The ambush, extraordinarily ambitious in scope and violence, showed a high level of organization, and the insurgents probably had inside information on the travel plans of the soldiers, who were members of the nascent Iraqi National Guard, officials said.
The left-handed pig-dog in question?
bq. On Sunday night, a group called Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the new name of the militant band led by Jordanian fighter Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility in an Internet posting.
The good news is that the gloves are slooooly coming off and when the Iraqi forces get pissed enough, a reign of hellfire will visit Zarqawi and he will spend his last few minutes talking to Iblis The Thrice-Damned, the cacodemon charged with conscripting new arrivals into the ranks of the forgotten in Hell.
Then the fun begins
