Former Turkish captive describes fate at the hands of Zarqawi's thugs
2004-09-24
Murat might want to take a look at this - look at how Zarqawi's stormtroopers regard Turks. You think that this is going to end if they do somehow succeed the US out you're sorely mistaken.
Perhaps the words were meant to be reassuring after the blindfold and the guns at her back. But for Zeynep Tugrul, a young Turkish journalist held hostage in northern Iraq, her captor's calm statement was as comforting as bathing in ice. "Please understand why we have to make sure who you are," said the man who had seemed so friendly, the one everyone called the emir, or leader. "There have been lots of spies here, and we had to cut their heads off."
