Beheading Victim Planned to Marry 24 Year-old Iraqi Woman

Kim Sun-il, who was found murdered in Iraq on June 23rd, was to marry Iraqi woman, his friends disclosed, according to June 25th edition of Ilgan Sports(a S. Korean sports daily.)

Shim Sung-dae, an English Instructor and Mr. Kim's friend since high school, told a reporter from the sports daily on June 24th, "Sun-il thought out a plan to marry her, and even sent me her picture.", according to the daily.

According to Mr. Shim, "On May 30th, a day before his kidnapping, I got the last e-mail from him. In it, he said he wanted to marry 24 year-old Iraqi woman and live in Muslim country for the rest of his life. He further said, 'I am going to meet her parent next week(probably early June). My heart pounds.' He was obviously happy. However, he was kidnapped the next day by an Iraqi armed group."

Mr. Shim added, "The Iraqi woman he loved was from a Iraqi Christian family. She was working at PX of American military. That is where she (first) met him."

If the girl was really a Christian, extremely doubtful.
Zarqawi and friends would do the same to an Iraqi Christian if they could (btw, they have killed dozens of Christians in Iraq; the media just doesn't report it.)
If you remember correctly, Kim Sun-Il was also an evangelical Christian.

To be honest, I don't put it past our enemies, they have proven capable of every other form of treachery under the son, so why the heck not.
