An Iraqi insurgent leader says two German security agents were killed by his men at a roadblock in Fallujah earlier this month because they were "mistaken for Americans". Jabbar al-Qubaysi, head of the Iraqi National Patriotic Alliance, was quoted by Germany’s Spiegel TV as saying he regretted the killings. "It is all very regrettable," he told the German TV show, produced by Der Spiegel news magazine. "Had the men stopped at the roadblock and identified themselves as Germans, my men would have spared them. "But they sped through the roadblock and were mistaken for Americans," he said.
Regrettable, my arse. This guy sounds like he’s been taking elocution classes at the Axis of Weasels Center for International Pandering. |
