(CNN) -- Radical anti-government fighters in Syria mistakenly beheaded a wounded fellow rebel soldier after assuming he was a supporter of President Bashar al-Assad, according to an online statement from the radical fighters' group.I wonder if he gets bumped up to 144 virgins now?
A separate online video showed a gruesome display of radical fighters holding what appeared to be the victim's head.
After the beheading earlier this week, the victim was determined to be Mohammed Fares, an anti-government fighter wounded in clashes against the Syrian Army earlier, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
On Thursday, an online statement from a spokesman for the al Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), whose fighters apparently carried out the beheading of Fares, called for forgiveness for the killers and asked for "restraint and piety" from anti-government supporters.
"We call on God to accept Mohammed Fares into his Kingdom and to forgive his brothers that sought to rid us of the enemies of God and our enemies," Omar Al-Qahatani said in Arabic in the ISIS statement.
Too much?
Too soon?
Ah get over it. This is weird, ironic, semi-funny and an indication of who we're dealing with in the Middle East.
Time to go.
At least they didn't use the US wedding-party apology. But yes, it is PAST time to go, except the political purposes apparently take priority. The plan is now to reduce US troop strength to 34,000 by Spring, which would still be 4,000 more than when Obama became commander-in-chief.

I wouldnt have thought Sterling Archer would fit in with Islamic rebels, but, ISIS...
ReplyDeleteI notice theres no apology for executing a prisoner of war, and yet Obama wants to arm these war criminals and bomb Assad for alleged war crimes?
