WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Baghdad – The mayor of a small Shi’ite village south of Baghdad was kidnapped on his way to work on Monday, and his bullet-riddled body was later found dumped along a highway, police and morgue officials said.

Police said Khalaf Ghargan, the mayor of Dijelah, was abducted by gunmen about 300 metres from his home. Witnesses said the kidnappers ambushed Ghargan’s car, dragged him out and sped away. Two bodyguards and a driver were left behind, they said.

Dijelah lies just south of Kut, 160km southeast of Baghdad. Kut is the capital of Wasit province.

Ghargan’s body was later found dumped on a highway and brought to the Kut morgue, said morgue official Maamoun Ajeel al-Rubaie. Another body, handcuffed and showing signs of torture, also turned up at the morgue on Monday, he said.

Witnesses said Iraqi security forces were searching the area where the abduction took place.

A roadside bomb exploded on Monday near a police patrol in Mosul, 360km northwest of Baghdad, wounding two civilians, police said.

A day earlier in Qaim, 320km west of the capital, gunmen broke into the home of a policeman and killed him along with his two brothers, police said.
