TA-ATTACKS: Two Pakistani Hostages Beheaded by Iraqi Militants

Two civilian hostages from Pakistan have reportedly been executed and beheaded by their captors, according to Al Jazeera. The group claiming to have captured the men, the Islamic Army, released a statement to the Arabic news channel that they carried out the executions today. The statement included a video showing the remains of the two civilians, which was not shown due to being too "gruesome."
Sajad Naeem and Raja Azad both worked for al-Tamimi, based in Kuwait. A third hostage, Iraqi native Omar Khaled Selman was released unharmed.

Too gruesome for "Al Jazeera" ? What a crawk. Too gruesome because it's one of their own kind being killed is more like it.

You said it... Shows you what kinds of animals we're dealing with here... They just beheaded two muslims most likely....

Holy War??? "Too gruesome for 'Al Jazeera'", wow. But its ok to show Americans burning alive or Americans getting their heads sawed off. Too gruesome??

Maybe now Muslims will finally stand up against these extremist and make it known that this is not a "Holy War", it is simply cold hearted murders. I hope people around the world see how these animals have no respect for human life, not just American life. It is not just America that is under attack and it never was...just America. The world needs to stand up together and finish this BS once and for all. It is just a matter of time before everone sees that taking down Saddam was just one step in the fight against terror. But then again, thats just my own humble opinion. Vote Bush
