Terrorists Beheadings in Mosul, Execution Video Released

With their base of operation in Fallujah destroyed, the Army of Ansar al-Sunnah and Zarqawi's al Qaeda-linked group are now on a murderous rampage in Mosul. Yesterday, nine Iraqi National Guardsmen were found murdered, seven beheaded, in Mosul. Four other decapitated bodies, thus far unidentified, were found on the roadside, also yesterday, by U.S. Forces. On Friday, Zarqawi's group beheaded two National Guardsmen in public on a street in Mosul.

Rusty Shackleford has a good current status posted at The Jawa Report with pics and a link to video of the murders of two Kurdish Democratic Party officials by the Army of Ansar al-Sunnah. Video also at Straight Bannana.

Not too long ago, the terrorist groups appeared to have some semblance of an overall plan or goal to their actions, such as kidnappings being followed by ransom or other demands. Now, however, it seems we're seeing more random and arbitrary acts of violence and murder. Maybe this is an indication that they have largely replaced purposefulness with frenzy. Alphabetically, after Fallujah comes frenzy.
