A search of news.google.com shows only two media outlets publishing the fact that the hostages had their throats slit: One in South Africa, and one in Australia.

The American media universally has headlines like "Hostages Killed", etc. No mention of the beheadings.

This might be worth watching today. I had a busy day yesterday and only caught a snip on the car radio. That report made it sound like the fatalities happened in the course of the Saudis storming the compound.
