Group Vows Revenge on Allawi for Attack

[maddezmom]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A videotape posted Thursday on an Islamist Web site purportedly by Fallujah militants vowed to take revenge on Iraqi Prime Minister Ayad Allawi for ordering a U.S.-led attack on their city.



The tape was broadcast late Wednesday by Al-Jazeera television and featured a group of men said by the station to be 20 Iraqi soldiers taken prisoner during operations in Fallujah. The men wearing Iraqi uniforms were shown with their backs to the camera.


Al-Jazeera did not broadcast the audio portion of the tape but said the militants promised not to kill the prisoners it was holding but warned others captured later would be slain.


On the Web site, however, the speaker threatened both Allawi and Iraqi Defense Minister Hazem Shaalan al-Khuzaei, saying both had displayed "meanness toward those who are defending their home, their religion and their honor."


"The Fallujah people's revenge will not be extinguished until the end of life and their revenge against Ayad Allawi will be personal."

5. Allawi is a willing lapdog to the U.S., now he will pay

Being a stooge to the U.S. carries a heavy price, he knew it going in, he will sure know it in 36 hours. Allawi should be standing up for what most of his country wants, the Americans OUT!!! Just leave a couple of suitcases full of money. You know we are going to drag this conflict on to the end of the earth, this will continue until we learn to keep our nose out of the affairs of others, America is not superior, we just have good natural resources and very stupid people.

7. Allawi is a hit man. It is very possible that he was chosen for his post

because he has absolutely no conscience.

So he may not even care if members of his family are beheaded, or how many Iraqis he kills.
