The resistance has proven their mettle.

BAGHDAD - Gunmen shot dead a senior Baghdad judge and his young son on Tuesday and then danced in the street, shouting "This is what will happen to the traitor Shiites", one of the dead man's colleagues said.

The assailants, driving an Opel car, cut off Judge Qaiss Hashem al-Shamari, 32, the secretary of Iraq's council of judges, who was driving with his child, and shot them dead in eastern Baghdad, Shamari's fellow judge said on condition of anonymity.

"When they shot them, they jumped out of the car and started shouting 'this is what will happen to the traitor Shia'," Shamari's colleague said.
