Algeria: Islamists Raid Bootleg Bar, Patron Beheaded.....

Algeria has been added to the list of countries Ted Kennedy will never visit.....

Suspected Islamist militants raided a bootleg bar in Algeria and beheaded one of its patrons because he was a prison guard, Algerian media reported Saturday.

Also, a security official confirmed the separate killing of five soldiers and two police officers in a gunbattle.

Extremists disguised as police officers carried out the raid on the bar in the town of Boghni, 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of Algiers on Thursday, the El Watan newspaper reported.

The paper, which tends to be reliable on terrorism-related stories, said the suspected Islamists robbed bar patrons and beheaded one of them after finding out he worked as a prison guard. The group also kidnapped an Algerian-born emigrant in an apparent bid to win a ransom, a frequent practice in the area.

Separately, five soldiers and two police officers were killed in a gunbattle with al-Qaida linked extremistsin the hilly Batna region, 450 kilometers (280 miles) southeast of Algiers, local media reported.

Who cares? Algeria has bigger problems like Muslims converting to Christianity.

Ted Kennedy will be dead by the end of this year. Good riddance. I pity the people in the Afterlife. If I can find his grave, I'm going to pour a bottle of piss on it.

Hey, whatever happened to that Senator from North or South Dakota who had a stroke? Is he still in office? Anyone know?

How do they know the attackers weren't actually the real Police?...
