Source: Al-Iraqiya TV (Iraq)

The following are excerpts from a report by Al-Iraqiya TV of a confrontation between family members of terror victims and the terrorists:

Mother A: This is my son's murderer.

Interviewer: Look at him.

Mother A: He killed my son.

Terrorist A: Please…

Mother A: I will not forgive your parents. A fire has been burning in my heart for the past nine months, you killed the heroic martyr – Bashar, Bahsar the hero. You are despicable. You are a criminal. You are the scum of society. You are the scum of society. You are impure. You are despicable. You are contemptible. You have burned heart. You have burned heart. May Allah butn your heart. Where is your family? Where is your family home, I will burn it down with gasoline. You have burned heart. You have burned heart. He has burned heart. He has burned heart.

Interviewer: How did you identify the murderer?

Mother A: I recognized the murderer on Al-Iraqiya TV in Nineveh. I watched it every day and said to myself, maybe I'll see who murdered my heroic son Bashar. Four or five days ago, on Monday, this criminal, 'Amer Yassin Al-Taai, appeared and admitted killing the policeman Bashar, who lives in the Al-Khadhraa neighborhood. He has burned a fire in my heart. This murderer burned my heart.

Interviewer: What are your demands from the Iraqi government?

Mother A: I'd like to slaughter him with my own two hands and chop him into pieces. He has burned my heart. I take four sleeping pills a day. He has burned my heart.

Mother B: What crime did Omar commit that you killed him? I just want to know what Omar's crime was.

Hussein Sheikho: He didn't do anything.

Mother B: So why did you murder him? You didn't know that he was an orphan? You didn't know that I raised him since he was six? Aren't you afraid of Allah? Don't you know what your fate will be? You evil people with no conscience.

Mother C: Why? You evil person, why didn’t you fear Allah? What should I do to you? I should rip you apart. What should I do to you? What should I do to you? All they will do is execute you! Look at the bullets that killed my son in the car. Why did you do this to me? Why? You evil person with no conscience. His father was martyred fighting Iran. He raised orphans. He raised orphans. It is an honor for my son that his father was martyred during the war with Iran. Why did you kill him, he raised his orphan brothers.

You are no mujahideen, you are a gang. For $200 from Syria you murder and throw them in cemeteries. Every time we go visit our sons' graves at the cemetery, we find ten more people who were slaughtered, beheaded.
