German Civilian Hostages in Iraq Threatened on Video

The name of this terror organization is eerily similar to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Tawhid i jihad and the Kurdish al Qaeda offshoot of Ansar al-Sunna.

AP:

Al-Arabiya TV aired footage of two German hostages surrounded by their kidnappers Monday who threatened to kill them unless the German government doesn't meet their demands.

The station's broadcaster said the kidnappers, identified as Tawhid and Sunnah Brigade [Unity and the way of the Prophet followers], warned the German government that it was the "last chance" to comply with their demands or they will kill hostages Thomas Nitschke and Rene Braeunlich, who were abducted Jan. 24 in Beiji, north of Baghdad.

Tawhid and Sunnah had previously threatened to murder Thomas Nitschke and Rene Braeunlich within 72 hours on another video if the German government did not cut off all diplomatic and trading ties with Iraq. That deadline came and went several weeks ago.

An earlier video was released on January 27th. The two were reported missing a few days before that.

Thanks to Carlos for his unending support of hostages in Iraq.

1 Why is there always a guy with a RPG-5 or 7 in those videos? Am I supposed to be impressed by their firepower? Look closer: this terrorist even got his finger on the trigger! If the rocket don't kill them all, the backblast will... So moronic! - Max

4 Why is there always a guy with a RPG-5 or 7 in those videos? It's the Muslim world's answer to penis enlargement.

5 Better question might be why would morons like these be expected to be smarter than the weapon. It reminds me of the staged photo not too long ago, with grandpa wrinkles and brainwashed boy and a very old, fused artillery round. You know, the only thing left unexploded, after the drone fly bye bye in Pack it in againistan. Hollywood has had some very faaaaaaar reaching effects on the mindless! I understand that the buryalls of that batch of terrorists was carried out by a highly trained team of janitors. All ya need is a sponge, which has multiple uses......I better stop.
