Danish daily Politiken identified the man as 35-year-old Henrik Frandsen, who was in Iraq to start a water purification and electrical appliance store in the southern city of Basra.

 That's a shame.

Kubaissi, a senior official of the Committee of Muslim Scholars, has emerged as a key player in efforts to release foreign hostages in Iraq, including two Japanese hostages who were freed on Saturday.

Interviewed in Politiken on Wednesday prior to the announcement of the Dane's death, Kubaissi said he did not believe the businessman was taken for political reasons "because then we would have heard about it".

He suggested that the man may have been killed by US troops.

"Maybe he's been killed by the Americans because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And when the Americans have their backs against the wall, they shoot and make no distinction between rebels, civilians and foreigners," Kubaissi said.
 

yup anti american attitude.  this guy must be an expert at warfare or somthing to make such a bold statement as this.  It couldnt possibly be TERRISTS or FORMER BATHISTS.  They aren't doing ANY of the killing AT ALL.  They are all peace loving pascifists that do nothing but feed hungry children and provide clean water/electricity to the people of iraq.....no it must be the Evil Ammerikans that did this

That sucks.  These animals bite the hand that feeds them.

Hmmmm...would be interesting to inquire his views on civilian Iraqi casualties from bombs etc placed by the insurgents.


Sounds like a fella that needs to be Hannitized! Would love to see Sean ask him questions.


I also like that, "if it was political we would have been contacted". Might be interesting to dig deeper there....if I were an analyst...

Kubaissi is nothing more than a terrorist ploy to get more money for supporting his terorist networks... plain and simple.

BTW, thanks Spain, it is your fault that the current hostage BS is working...

[Maverick]

This individual makes the argument for showing "muslim" and "scholar" are contradictions in terms.

ROTFL, no Bodhi its the allied fault cause they are unable to ensure peace.

No, I'm not kidding. To ensure the stability of Iraq is the problem of the allied.

Terrorism is everyone's problem.  The mass  murders that were goin on in Iraq was a world problem. The world is too small for  these problems not to be.  You have the luxury of sticking your head in the sand while thumbing your nose at the countries that are doing the world's dirty work. WTG, you must be very proud

To fight terrorism is everyone's problem but what does this has to do with Iraq?

Are you really foolish enough to think many weren't already there?

Iraq was and is a terrorist haven.  Unless we get it stabilized, it will continue to be so.  In that way, it is a world problem.

No I'm not foolish enough but as i mentioned before, nowadays in some regions in Iraq anarchy and chaos rules. Furtheron many terrorist come into the country cause they have such easy targets and good possibilities to collect weapons, explosives and to train themselfes.

But it wasnt that heaven / that problem before the war. The allied exacerbated the situation and they are not able to establish a stable regime. I'll not discuss if this war was wrong or right but definitly the allied underestimated the after war guerilla tactics and thats one big fault.
