1. They worked for Halliburton

"Al Tamimi does work in Iraq for U.S. firm Kellogg, Brown and Root, a contractor to the U.S. military."

Italy was put on notice just the other day. "Get out of Iraq or suffer the consequences." Seems inevitable their day will come.

Meanwhile, a group claiming links with al Qaeda issued a statement after a "truce" offered by Osama bin Laden expired earlier this month."

Today, we have declared a bloody war on you and we will not stop raids against you until you return to the correct path," said the statement signed by Abu Hafs al- Masri Brigades and posted on an Islamist website, which has carried previous statements from the group.

"After the truce determined by our sheik Osama bin Laden ended, and after you have not returned to the correct path, we declare a war in your faces and in the face of your silent people whose silence proves their support to you," it added.

Iraqi group says it beheaded Pakistanis

In a videotape sent to Aljazeera, a group calling itself the Islamic Army announced that it had executed two Pakistani captives.
The two men were working with a Kuwaiti subsidiary of Saudi company Al-Tamimi which had been subcontracted to supply foodstuffs to US occupation forces in Iraq.
The videotape displayed the decapitated bodies of the two Pakistanis, but Aljazeera declined to air it citing viewer sensitivities.
The same group said it had freed an Iraqi driver after he had proved that he was deluded and had announced his repentance.
