Terrorists Issue 72 Hour Ultimatum to Aussies

Douglas Woods is to be murdered unless Australia removes all troops from Iraq in the next 72 hours. If you believe in some sort of higher power, please include Douglas Woods in your prayers. I'd start by praying that Mr. Wood's captors meet the justice they deserve at the end of an Australian soldier's bayonet....

CBC News

Iraqi militants holding an Australian hostage have given his government 72 hours to start pulling its troops out of Iraq, the Arab satellite TV channel Al-Jazeera reported Friday.

The network did not say what the militants were threatening to do to Douglas Wood if their demands were not met.

Many hostages have been killed by militants after their governments refused to withdraw from Iraq, however.

Al-Jazeera also aired new footage of Wood, 63, showing rifles pointed at his shaved head.

3 Pity the victim, yes, but to prevent another such tragedy, when a terrorist is killed, bury him wrapped in a pig skin, or covered in pig guts and blood. You would be amazed how fast the insurgency would dry up.

4 When I saw the picture of Douglas Woods in the LA Times I placed it on an alter in my home and have been praying for his release or escape for the last 3 days. I do not agree with your statement that one should pray for the demise of his captors. They will get their just reward somewhere, sometime. Just pray that Mr. Woods is safe.
