Posted April 19, 2004, 3:50 p.m.

MADRID, Spain (CNN)—The body of a Spanish police officer who was killed in a raid on suspected Islamic terrorists was removed from its tomb Sunday night, dragged across a cemetery, doused with gasoline and burned, a Spanish police official told CNN.

I humbly submit that there are sick, demented, horrible people in the world. We all knew that already, but this really seals it for me.

My prayers and sympathies are with the friends and family of the slain officer.
