I don’t need to see it, but in case you are one of those people who needs to be reminded how evil and bloodthirsty our enemies are, click on the photo for more images and video of al Qaeda’s latest death porn production. Jawa Report has the lowdown. AP report here:

An al-Qaida-linked group posted a Web video Saturday purporting to show the bodies of two American soldiers being dragged behind a truck, then set on fire in apparent retaliation for the rape-slaying of a young Iraqi woman by U.S. troops from the same unit.

The Mujahedeen Shura Council _ an umbrella organization of insurgent groups, including al-Qaida in Iraq _ posted another video in June showing the soldiers’ mutilated bodies, and claiming it killed them. It was not clear whether the video posted Saturday was a continuation of that footage, or why it was released.

It was impossible to identify the bodies, but the footage was believed to be of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, and Pfc. Thomas Tucker, 25, who went missing after being attacked by insurgents on June 16 at a checkpoint south of Baghdad. Their remains were found three days later, and the U.S. military said they had been mutilated.

The SITE Institute has video details:

A video titled: “In Member of the Sunnah of Our Ancestors in Mutilating the Infidels,” 9:12 minutes in length, and distributed today, Friday, September 22, 2006, by the Mujahideen Shura Council in Iraq, depicts a revenge attack upon two American soldiers in al-Yusufiyah. These soldiers were members of the brigade that raped and burned Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, and killed her family in al-Mahmoudiya in June 2006. Though the group issued a video of the mutilated corpses of the two men on July 10 , this particular film contains additional footage of their being bound to the back of a truck, dragged for a long distance, and then burned.

Reciprocation, or tit-for-tat attacks, is emphasized throughout the video. An al-Jazeera interview with Mohammed Taha al-Janabi, Abeer’s uncle, begins the illustration of American crimes, followed by narration of an inhabitant of al-Fallujah describing American crimes during the second battle in that city. Also, the Mujahideen Shura Council points to the burning of Taliban Mujahideen in Afghanistan as additional justification for their acts against the two American soldiers in al-Yusufiyah. Stories of Muhammad’s companions and Islamic scholars who acted in kind to crimes committed against them are presented as vertically scrolling text atop an image of one of the American soldiers.

A message within the video reads: “The Mujahideen, Allah willing, will stay on the companion’s path, “tit for tat” in being harsh on the apostates and the Crusader infidels and the splitters by dispersing and hurting them, destroying their troops, killing them, and wishing to offer the biggest sacrifices for the God of earth and the skies”.

I am reminded by al Qaeda fighter Maulana Inyadullah’s declaration after the 9/11 jihadi attacks: “The Americans love Pepsi Cola, but we love death.”
