Iraq Group Threatens to Kill S.Korean Hostage -TV

[hightime]

DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iraqi group has threatened to behead a South Korean hostage if Seoul does not end cooperation with U.S. occupying authorities, a videotape aired on Arabic television station Al Jazeera said Monday.
"We ask you to withdraw your forces from our land and not to send any more troops, and if not we'll send you this Korean's head," one of a group of armed, masked men standing around the South Korean man said.

The group said South Korea had 24 hours from Sunday night to withdraw its decision last week to send troops to Iraq, al Jazeera said.

A banner in the background named the group as Jama'at al-Tawhid and Jihad, the name of the militant group led by al Qaeda operative in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

2. All summer it will be like this: publicized threats, bogeymen, etc

If Bush can't risk allowing a terrorist attack in the US, then he'll accept them happening overseas, or building terrorist mountains out of criminal molehills, so that the world looks like a scary place.

Then he can say, "But we have had no attacks in the US. Ain't I great?"

And the Moronic Minority (Republicans) will eat it with a spoon.
