French Citizens killed fighting against the US
Three Frenchmen have died fighting with insurgents against US-led troops in Iraq, reports say.
The men, all of Arab origin, were killed in the country over recent months as the insurgency has flared.
Two of the men were aged 19 and the third was 24 years old, a French official said.
Authorities estimate that around a dozen Frenchmen of North African or Arab background have travelled to Iraq to join the insurgency.
The men were identified as
24-year-old Tarek W, from Paris, killed on 17 September
19-year-old Redouane el-Hakim, killed on 17 July
Abdel Halim Badjoudj, 19, killed on 20 October.
French officials were checking the identity of a fourth man who was killed in recent weeks to see if he, too, held French citizenship.
Officials say the men probably travelled to Iraq via Syria but say that there is no proof of an organised recruitment network.
However, French newspaper Le Figaro says the men were helped to cross into Iraq by contacts in Syria.

RE: French Citizens killed fighting against the US
Although very likely (basedon the bullet wounds to these cowards back and heinys, the French government denies that these men were killed while running away from the fighting. U.S. Special Forces found their rifles laying on the ground where they were dropped. The rifles were fitted with a mechanism that prevented them from firing when dropped to ensure their safe retreat. Also, french sources say that other frenchies fighting in Iraq have experienced major sunburns in their armpits from having to hold their hands up for such long periods in surrender. French Minister of Retreat Jacque Strap was quoted as saying, "these men are tough. Noone in the world can hold up their arms for such long periods. These are strong men.".

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope their shining example will lead other Euro terror sympathizers to join their brothers as dead, rotting fertilizer in Iraq.

Not enough, we need a new brie flypaper strategy.

I wonder if the French Muslims really believe they'll be greeted by 100 French virgins in the afterlife.
Fat chance.
