English hostage Bigley reported killed

Recommended Posts

The Foreign Office is investigating claims a video which appears to show UK hostage Kenneth Bigley being killed has been released by militants in Iraq.

Reuters news agency said a witness had seen the video showing Mr Bigley making a statement before being beheaded.

 

Mr Bigley, 62, of Liverpool, was taken hostage on 16 September by the Tawhid and Jihad group which beheaded two Americans captured at the same time.

 

The Foreign Office says it is "urgently investigating" reports of his death.

 

'Informed sources'

 

Earlier on Friday afternoon, Abu Dhabi TV said it was told by "informed" sources in Iraq that Mr Bigley had been killed.

 

Reuters news agency also quoted Falluja insurgent sources as saying the Briton had been killed on Thursday in Latifiya, a Sunni Muslim town south-west of Baghdad.

 

 

Ok, so it hasn't been 100% confirmed but it looks very, very likely.

 

I have been following this story for weeks, seen the emotional appeals by ken's brother and mother, seen the videos of Ken pleading to Tony Blair for help in saving his life, videos that were very, very upsetting.

 

This has brought it all home to me. A guy, who lived 2 hours up the road, killed in Iraq by terrorist scum.

 

I am so angry and fucking pissed off. Who can I blame? Blair and Bush for going in with no evidence of WMD and creating a shit state in Iraq or the terrorist pig fuckers who did this? Or both?

That you even have to ask who to blame is a rather bad condemnation of your thought process.

..."Hmm, who to blame? Two leaders or the guys who DID THE KILLING? Questions, questions..."

Wel, he wouldn't have been taken hostage in the first place if Bush and Blair didn't make a complete cock up of Iraq. Or had actually stayed out of the country.

Yes, because Daniel Pearl was killed because we had invaded Iraq...

 

Oh wait, NO HE WASN'T. He was killed -- like all the unfortunates who have beheaded by these wastes of sperm and egg -- because the "people" we're dealing with are fanatical fuckheads with no regard for human life. Blame the people who actually killed this guy.

Yes, because civilians have NEVER been killed by terrorists for no reason.

Never happened.

Also, probably Bush and Blair's fault for --- well, I'm sure there was a good reason why we caused it.

:ph34r: Wow.

 

I find Bush to be an incredibly wrongminded man...but damn, have some decency. And sense. If possible...

 

And, this has been confirmed by the victim's brother

And the sooner we crush them, the sooner they'll stop kidnapping and decapitating our citizens, because they (the terrorists) will be dead.

I'm totally with KKK on this one. How many civilians have had their heads cut off over there now?? If you're not military, get the fuck out of there, are you mad?????

 

INXS, I cry every time you post. Can some mod please strip him of that username?? The damage you're doing to one of the best Australian bands ever is near irreparable.

You are simply pathetic, that's all I can say to that.

 

Anyway, back to something worth talking about. I was watching something today, I don't remember if it was CNN or FOX, but anyway they had an independent contractor from somewhere in the US on there talking about how he is getting ready to go over to Iraq for work. He kept saying how it isn't actually bad over there and that it would be perfectly safe for him to go. I just couldn't believe it.

Had he been doing drugs before the interview?

History of suicide attempts?

 

Cause I need a reason WHY anyone would have EVER wanted to go to Iraq?

Anyone?

 

Do they have an active theater community?

Ha. I was at a used CD store today browsing and I came across some INXS CDs. I started laughing out loud in the store right then and there...

If anyone has read my Love Sex and Dating threads, surely my girlfriend has to be a "Suicidal Blonde".

 

Damn even I'M ripping on myself....

 

Anyhow, I DO blame the terrorists, and no one FORCED Bigley to go oer there to work, i'm sure he was fully aware of the dangers...so no, Bush & Blair aren't directly responsible, of course not..but they did trigger a chain of events that lead up to this..

So since you live in England, I guess if you drove into London and some IRA crazy blew you up, it wouldn't be his fault because England were assholes to Irish Catholics and no one forced you to drive to work.
