RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - The body of a man, possibly a Westerner, was found Sunday near the National Guard headquarters, Saudi security officials said.
The man's nationality could not be confirmed, and it was not immediately known if he was an American that al-Qaida claimed to have kidnapped in a statement issued Saturday.
That statement, signed by "Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula," said the captive would be treated as U.S. troops treated prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib prison — a reference to sexual and other abuses at the Iraqi prison.
It also said al-Qaida would release a videotape later with "confessions" by the kidnapped man and the group's demands.
If the body is that of a Westerner, it would be the fourth killing of a foreigner within a week.
Confessions? I drank, I read the Bible, I studied the Arab psyche and told the US military to put underpants on prisoners' heads.
God rest him, poor man. He shouldn't have had an end like that.
