Hostage Video: Germans Given 72 Hour Ultimatum

Another day another hostage video from the ghouls at al Jazeera television. This time the video shows German civilians Thomas Nitzschke and Rene Braeunlich. The two engineers have been threatened with death if Germany does not break diplomatic relations with Iraq.

An earlier video had been broadcast on al Jazeera two days ago which was dated Jan. 24th, the day the Germans were abducted.

The group calls itself the Tawhid and Sunnah Brigade (unification and 'way of the Prophet'). While the AP is reporting that the group is 'unknown', the name is actually very well known. It is associated with a subgroup of Jaish Ansar al-Sunnah. Ansar al-Sunnah is thought to be made up of Kurds of the former Ansar al Islam terrorist organization. Dozens of people with ties to Ansar al-Islam have been arrested and tried in Germany in the past several several years (example).

If this Tawhid and Sunnah Brigade is the same group that is associated with Ansar al-Sunnah (sometimes criminal organizations simply adopt an Islamic sounding name) then the hostages are in grave danger. The Army of Ansar al Sunna has murdered dozens of civilian hostages in the past.

We pray that these hostages will be released unharmed.

AP:

The brief tape Tuesday showed Thomas Nitzschke and Rene Braeunlich seated on the floor in front of a group of armed men. Al-Jazeera said the previously unknown group, the Tawhid and Sunnah Brigade, demanded the German government close its embassy in Baghdad, withdraw all the German companies from Iraq and to stop cooperation with the Iraqi government.
Hat tip: George.

On a related note: Is al Jazeera making money from these hostage videos by selling them to the Western press?

1 Time to start executing all the terrorists we have in custody. Free fair and fast trial with a free M16 bullet to the head as the form of death penalty to give them once they are found guilty and sentenced to DEATH!!!!!!!!!

2 I think every time they air one of these videos, we should have one of our boys hanging out at the burning rubble of their old house, hanging with the harem looking all satisfiec...their hair all hanging out, drinking beer with a pig on a spit over a fire fueled by barrels of what used to be their oil and a now worthless currency...with a caption is of "that's all you got...nany nany boo boo you can't catch me?"

3 When will these *cowardists learn that we NEVER give in to their terms? Since when have Americans met their demands when they threaten to behead people they have abducted? If we do, then they gain ground and further the advancement for Islamo-Facism. It seems they just have a thirst for blood - bloodlust. They delight in one thing - death! Islam is a DEATH CULT which worships death and places their shaheed (martyrs) in the highest venoration and honor. Their only ambition is to conquer the world and kill themselves out of frustration from their ridiculous prohibitions and dogma. All of them have deep-seated peversions from a distortion of natural sexuality and it is impossible to live in the free world under this oppression - quite simply, they're brainwashed and exhibit accute sexual frustration. The one thing they cannot do is fight like men. If it is war they want, then why don't they go head to head? Because they can't. They are not smart enough. They are not strong enough. They are technologically inferior. They are morally reprobate. Exactly what do they plan to do if their pipedream of world domination were to ever succeed? Turn the world into crapheaps like they have done with their own countries? Oh the joy. *Cowardism: Terrorism is is a tactic to grant themselves power by making people afraid. If they succeed in scaring people, then we have relenquished our power into their hands. We must not give them the pleasure, and certainly not the power. Don't be afraid. Disarm them. They are cowards. Terrorism is only aptly named when people are afraid. Call it cowardism from now on.
