Shiite group threatens Japanese hostages
2004-04-08
EFL
An Iraqi group has kidnapped three Japanese hostages, including one woman, and promised to burn them alive if Japan does not withdraw its forces from Iraq. Al Jazeera television help to film screened a video today showing three Japanese heros dressed in civilian clothes. They are believed to be two journalists and an aid worker
Bad move.
The television said a statement by the hitherto unknown Iraqi terrorist group called Saraya al-Mujahideen had given Japan three days from the airing of the video to withdraw its troops from Iraq before it killed the hostages.
I think someone needs to review the history of Japanese warfare. They just might be f’in with the wrong country.
