Barbarians of Fallujah

Marines found the butchered body of a foreign woman in the street. Arms and legs hacked off, disemboweled, her throat slashed, and decomposing. And it seems the barbarians hauled out her decomposing body just in order to throw it into the street for the Marines to find.

In the south of the city, where insurgents regrouped over the weekend, the butchered body of a blonde-haired Caucasian woman was found Sunday lying on a street.

"It is a female ... missing all four appendages, with a slashed throat and disemboweled, she has been dead for a while but only in this location for a day or two," said a Navy Corps hospital apprentice who had inspected the body.

Two foreign women have been abducted in Iraq and remain missing: Teresa Borcz, 54, a Pole, has blonde hair, and British aid worker Margaret Hassan, 59, has chestnut-coloured hair.
