The reports have yet to be confirmed by U.S. officials, however several external news sources including the Washington Post report that General Abdul Aziz Muhammed, head of operations at Iraqi Ministry of Defense acknowledged that the soldiers had been "barbarically" killed and that there were traces of torture on their bodies.
Various Arabic postings and claims of responsibility suggest the possibility that some are attempting to appear more operational than they actually are since the death of terrorist leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi.
A number of messages, posted on at least two Arabic language terrorist forums, state that our soldiers were "slaughtered," or beheaded, in accordance with Quranic law. This is unconfirmed. My heartfelt prayers go out to their families.
