I see that the Islamic State of Iraq had claimed a number beheadings on their English language (Google owned blogspot, of course) website today. Most of the beheadings took place before the security crackdown. But it's worthy of note that they have started using the term "beheading" again when referring to their victims. They usually use the term "Implementing Allah's rule" as a general euphemism for any kind of murder (ie, when the physically capture a person and then kill them as opposed to an "operation" which generally means a straightforward attack).

It's also worth noting that since Zawahiri repremanded Zarqawi for turning the Ummah off due to his excessiveness in decapitating hostages, there have been very few beheading claims from Iraq. There have been many beheadings, but no one wanted to claim responsibility. Bad PR. Until now.

You'll have to excuse al Qaeda in Iraq's poor grammar and spellling. Apparently they don't run this copy by Orange County's finest, Azzaz al-Amreki:

IOL: A car bomb exploded near a park west of Baghdad today, killing at least 18 boys, police said.

The blast occurred in central Ramadi, a hotbed of the Sunni insurgency, near an area popular for soccer.

The victims were boys aged 10 to 15, police said.

"I am mortified at the absolute lack of regard for the lives of the Iraqi people which has been displayed by Al Qaeda in Iraq," said Col. John Charlton, commander of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division. "The murder of any Iraqi citizen is tragic, but to intentionally kill innocent children is proof positive that now more than ever, Iraqi citizens need to stand together with us in support of their local Iraqi security forces to stamp out this terrorist threat. No child should have to live in fear."

Those operations are included in "al-Karama (dignity) plan", declared by al-Sheikh Abu Omar al-Baghdadi , leader of the Islamic State of Iraq.
