al-Qaeda Murders Imam, Destroys Mosque, Kidnaps Women & Children

Via BBC:

A Sunni leader in the Iraqi province of Diyala, who encouraged his community to confront al-Qaeda in Iraq, has been killed by the group, police say.

The militants exploded a bomb in his house in the town of Kanaan, and fired mortars and rocket-propelled grenades at other houses and a Sunni mosque.

There are conflicting reports, but police in nearby Baquba said a total of 22 civilians died in the dawn attack.

The attackers then seized at least seven people before retreating.

Some of those kidnapped were women and children, residents said....

..."They blew up the mosque then they bombed houses crowded with family members," he told the AFP news agency.

One of the houses belonged to Sheikh Yunis al-Tai, an imam well known in the area for his opposition to the al-Qaeda in Iraq, he said. They killed him and at least one of his family members and wounded others.

al-Qaeda supporters have only one response. It's a lie/not true/propganda. So tell me was it a lie/not true/propaganda when al-Qaeda/Islamic State of Iraq vowed revenge against those who failed to yield to al-Qaeda? Are all these people talking to AFP, who normally calls al-Qaeda's murderous thugs freedom fighters, lying? I think not.

It seems the Jihadi supporters now call the 1920's Brigades liars too? Eh boys. Murdering Muslims, blowing up mosques, killing and kidnapping women and children, does this not sound like al-Qaeda? What justifies this?

it was the house of a sheikh affiliated with the socalled "awakening council"
Just what I thought. al-Qaeda's normal method of dealing with opposition, murder the opposition. Damn those jihadis get on my nerves. Nothing but a bunch of brainwashed fools. If al-Qaeda murdered their mother right in front of them they'd support it.
