The video posted below is extremely graphic and most definitely not safe for work. This shows the true face of the jihadists, intolerant to any who differ from their hard line views or who follow a different faith.

No debate, no trial just gunned down by savages in the name of jihad.

Coalition Forces target kidnapping cell in Baghdad
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces conducted an operation to arrest a kidnapper and detained four other criminals during operations in East Baghdad early Monday.

These criminals were part of a Special Groups cell supported by Iran. They were involved in kidnapping operations and other crimes against the Iraqi people and security forces.

As Coalition forces sought to take action against these criminals they were engaged with small arms fire and improvised explosive devices including at least one explosively formed penetrator. Responding in self defense, the ground forces engaged and killed one individual. Four suspected criminals were detained on the objective.

Precise fires from air support had to be used to engage individuals emplacing IEDs. These individuals were placing the explosives along the road to attack coalition forces departing the objective.

We continue to support the Government of Iraq in welcoming the commitment by Muqtada al-Sadr to stop attacks and we continue to show restraint with those who honor his pledge. We will not show the same restraint against those criminals who dishonor the pledge by attacking security forces and Iraqi citizens.
