Troops Find Hostage Slaughterhouses in Falluja

(Newsday) American and Iraqi military commanders said Wednesday that troops had found houses in Fallujah that appeared to be the base of some of the hostage-takers who have terrorized foreigners and Iraqis for months with their gruesome, filmed beheadings. "They found a room they suspect was used for the executions," said one U.S. commander. "They found dried blood, banners up on the wall, a wheelchair used to restrain hostages. They found a guy who was still restrained down in a tunnel." Maj. Gen. Abdul Qader Mohammed Jassem Mohan, chief of the Iraqi forces in Falluja, said, "We have found hostage slaughterhouses in Falluja that were used by these people and the black clothing that they used to wear to identify themselves, hundreds of CDs, and whole records with names of hostages." Meanwhile, insurgents in Baghdad kidnapped three members of interim Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi's extended family Tuesday, threatening to kill them within 48 hours unless the attack on Falluja ended.
