Zarqawi's Group Frees PM Allawi's Cousin

With yesterday's release of Ghazi Allawi, 75, all three of Prime Minister Allawi's kidnapped relatives have now been freed by Zarqawi's terrorist Ansar al-Jihad group. Ghazi's wife and pregnant daughter-in-law were released previously. Interestingly, the terrorists posted a statement on the Internet to explain why they released the Allawi family members.

"Your brothers in the Al-Qaeda Group in the Land of Two Rivers (Iraq) freed Ghazi Allawi with his family because it proved they are not implicated in the apostate government of Allawi," said the statement.

It was signed by the group's "information department".

The authenticity of the statement could not be immediately verified.

Not for a second do I buy this bulls***. Something else swayed their decision not to keep and kill the Allawi relatives. These terrorist murderers have killed many, many people who had absolutely nothing to do with the "apostate government."

Tipped by Digger who has more on the story.
