Rebels Strike Iraqi Forces After Bin Laden Call
Rebels Strike Iraqi Forces After Bin Laden Call
By REUTERS

Published: December 28, 2004


Filed at 9:56 a.m. ET

TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) - Insurgents overran a police post near Saddam Hussein's home town on Tuesday, hauled 12 men outside and shot them in a dramatic show of force, a day after Osama bin Laden declared holy war on the U.S.-backed election.

The dawn massacre in Tikrit, where the guerrillas also blew up the police station, was the bloodiest in a spate of attacks in Iraq's Sunni minority heartlands north of Baghdad; at least five other policemen were killed and several National Guards.

2. "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care."
"It's not that important. It's not our priority."

6. Agreed, but sadly it will probably work.
Reason was left behind years ago.

That OBL has no influence or connection with the insurgency in Iraq ?

13. It's my claim to
wait until OBL or Zarqawi prove that they are actually alive and working together to further "THEIR" agenda (that being to legitamize a pre-emptive war against a country that did not attack the country that is worshipping its EGO of DEATH) Until that time I will be chalking this up as further propaganda to help the stupid masses preen themselves with Luciferian Luster.

9. Zaraqwi wasn't approved by al Qaeda until AFTER bush's invasion of Iraq
But hey, only the Reality-Based Community (50% of America and 98% the rest of the entire world) cares about facts, anyways.

10. Why never any mention that bin Laden once worked for the CIA?
That would seem like an important piece to this puzzle.
