From Web Site Posting: 2 Italian Hostages Slain:
"An Internet statement purportedly by a group which claimed to
have kidnapped two Italian aid workers in Iraq said Wednesday
it had killed the women. The Web site posting could not be
immediately verified....
"The Italians, Simona Pari and Simona Torretta, both 29, were
seized from their Baghdad offices by armed militants on Sept. 7.
They worked for 'Un Ponte Per ...' ('A Bridge to ...') and were
involved in school and water projects in Iraq.
"'We in the Jihad Organization of Iraq declared that the verdict of
God Almighty [sic] against the two Italian prisoners has been
carried out, by slaughtering them,' the statement said."
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
