Two more beheadings today, one more likely to be killed Wednesday
I posted something about the Turkish prisoner being held, so the end of the three days? Debate Night III.

Gunfire echoed through the center of Latifiyah, 25 miles south of Baghdad, as U.S. and Iraqi forces raided buildings along the main street. At least three people were treated for injuries at the hospital in nearby Iskandariyah.

U.S. Marines killed a would-be suicide car bomber Monday as he was speeding to their position south of Baghdad, the U.S. command said. The attack occurred as the 2nd Battalion, 24th Marines was exploding weapons and ammunition found during a sweep around Youssifiyah.

Also Monday, an Islamic Web site showed the beheading of two hostages — one a Turkish contractor and the other a Kurdish translator wearing a badge of the Titan security company.

A statement said the two were killed by the Ansar al-Sunnah Army, which claimed responsibility for slaughtering 12 Nepalese workers in August. An Arabic television station also broadcast footage of three hooded gunmen threatening to behead a Turkish hostage in three days unless U.S. authorities release all Iraqi prisoners and all Turkish nationals leave Iraq.
