Michael Yon reports on an Al Qaeda slaughter that defines it's ideology. Meaningless Death. Al Qaeda slaughtered an entire village of farmers - men, women and children.

I suspect it is meant to be that way.

On 29 June [2007], American and Iraqi soldiers were again fighting side-by-side as soldiers from Charley Company ... and Iraqi soldiers..., closed in on a village on the outskirts of Baqubah. The village had the apparent misfortune of being located near a main road... that al Qaeda liked to bomb. Al Qaeda had taken over the village. As Iraqi and American soldiers moved in, they came under light contact; but the bombs planted in the roads (and maybe in the houses) were the real threat.
The firefight progressed. American missiles were fired. The enemy might have been trying to bait Iraqi and American soldiers into ambush, but it did not work. The village was riddled with bombs, some of them large enough to destroy a tank. One by one, experts destroyed the bombs, leaving small and large craters in the unpaved roads.
The village was abandoned. All the people were gone. But where?
