Retribution: American Beheaded
If this turns out to be true, it's only the beginning:
DUBAI (Reuters) - A video tape of a Qaeda-linked group in Iraq beheading a man said to be an American was shown on an Islamist Web site Tuesday and the group vowed more executions as revenge for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners.
The poor quality tape showed a man sitting on the floor with five masked men behind him. After one of the masked men read out a statement, they pushed the bound man to the floor, cutting off his head and holding it aloft.
It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the tape carried on Muntada al-Ansar Islamist Web site.
Sickening.
