The Dead Body's Of Terrorist........

[trt]

What do you think happens to them, are they sent back to where they came from, or cremated?

[jno]

what, you means ones killed in Paris, or in Yemen, or just dying of old age? I imagine they're released to relatives, if they have any.

[ummmm]

The same with any dead body.

[paddywak]

I don't know what they do with them but cremation followed by dumping the ashes in a land fill seems a fitting way of getting rid of them.

Bin Laden's mortal remains were dumped in the Indian Ocean

[trt]

I meant killed while taking hostages etc.

[Gavmacp]

Treated with dignity and respect!

[SirOracle]

trt......Frankly I don't give a damn.

[naomi24]

^Neither do I. I would hope they would just be burnt and their ashes dumped - unceremoniously.

[mushroom25]

in 2009, the US authorities announced that remains of 9 of the 9/11 hijackers had been identified, but they refused to reveal the identities of those they had identified; their remains are still under lock and key.

those identified by the UK authorities as being responsible for the 7/7 bombings were released for burial, and were afforded funerals.

So accommodating here in the uk

[naomi24]

^For 'accommodating' read 'stupid'.

[ummmm]

It's for the families.

[tamborine]

cremated with pork scratchings

[fruitsalad]

Just being polite naomi, as we british are so well known

[flump1]

lol @ Naomi.

[Peter Pedant]

In UK I am pretty sure they are released to relatives on application

If you recollect the Brum bombs 1976 were detonated because the Bish of Brum forbade any of his priests to give a christian burial to any of the bombers who had blown up Coventry telephone exchange and themselves. - because they had murder in their hearts when they died.

The Russell Sq bomb - when the bus 'just blew up' and a head was found in the adjoining garden, the israeli cultural attache rang up the police and said he was sorry but they were dealing with suicide bombers - constant finding apparently. That is not so much about disposal tho'

//^For 'accommodating' read 'stupid'. //

possibly, but it's a difficult call. the 4 individuals identified as perpetrators of 7/7 were never tried. would it legally be right to treat them as guilty? their families certainly weren't (at least, nobody then knew what Samantha lewthwaite really was), so there was probably no justification in denying them the chance to grieve.

[sandyRoe]

It seems there are some who would have those heads impaled on spikes, as happened to Cromwell.

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, personally I wouldn't want that. These people impose enough grisly stuff upon the rest of us without anyone else's help. Just burn them and dump their ashes - that'll do.

[mushroom25]

PP, just to be as pedantic as your name suggests - the Birmingham bombings took place in November 1974 - we've just had the 40th anniversary here in the midlands.
