Kidnappers threaten to behead hostages

FALLUJAH, April 11 (Online): Government negotiators entered besieged city of Fallujah on Saturday to negotiate a ceasefire with the militants as the US offered truce. Street fighting erupted in Baghdad, and fierce battles raged in central Iraq, that left 40 Iraqis dead.

A US tank was set on fire on a highway west of the capital and locals said that was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade fired by a 10-year-old boy.

In Baqouba, north-east of the capital, gunmen attacked the government buildings and police stations, fighting US troops that killed around 40 Iraqis and wounded several Americans, said Capt Issam Bornales, spokesman for the 1st Infantry Division’s 3rd Brigade. Insurgents also fought US troops in Baghdad’s northern, mainly Sunni neighbourhood of al-Azamiyah.

At least most people voting Bush this year think so.

What good Christians.
