Kidnapped Australians in Iraq actually "Austrian"
Two Australians believed kidnapped in Iraq were confirmed today as being Austrian. A spokeperson for the terrorist group, Horror Brigades of the Islamic Secret Army, who claimed responsibility for the kidnapping explained," It was a simple mistake. A holy brother in the Islamic Spelling Army misread their ID cards."
After hearing the news, a clearly relieved Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, said, " The Government had already determined there were 154 Australians in Iraq and had confirmed 20 were safe and well. The Prime Minister and I then ran out of fingers. So, it's a great relief they are actually Austrian."
Later in the day the spokesperson issued a new statement warning, "We now tell the infidels of Austria, Australia and any other country with similar pronunciation that they have 24 hours to leave Iraq or these two Austrians will be killed without a second chance. We also demand that all repeats of The Sound Of Music Cease."
