Captors threaten to handover British hostage to al-Zarqawi

[Anarcho-Socialist]

"Gunmen holding hostage Margaret Hassan said they would hand her to militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi if British troops do not leave Iraq within 48 hours.
The warning was made by a hooded figure on a video broadcast on the Arabic TV station Al-Jazeera.

The station said it could not play the whole tape because of aid worker Mrs Hassan's distressing condition.

Jordanian-born Zarqawi has admitted beheading several foreigners, including Briton Ken Bigley."

1. Well, this slaps you back to earth..... Hang in there Ms. Hassan....

I can only pray for a miracle here...... Surely they won't kill her? As horrible as they have been, surely they won't risk the backlash from that level of brutality to a woman? I hope?

3. If they can stone women who shame their families, by happening to be raped

then they are very capable of executing a woman.

2. I dare them to hand her over to al-Zarqawi.

I want proof that he is real first.
