BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- American hostage Tom Fox -- who was kidnapped with three other Christian peace activists in November -- has been found shot in the head with his body showing signs of torture, Iraqi emergency police told CNN Saturday.
There was no word on the whereabouts of Fox's fellow hostages -- Canadians James Loney, 41, and Harmeet Singh Sooden, 32, and 74-year-old Briton Norman Kember -- who were last seen in a video broadcast Tuesday on Arab television.
Fox's body was found wrapped in a blanket around 5 p.m. Thursday in the Daoudi neighborhood in western Baghdad -- dumped on the main road near a train station. His hands and feet were bound, police said. He was wearing gray trousers and a gray shirt.

Mr Fox had his eyes opened just before they were closed forever.

An Iraqi police patrol was also at the scene, said Falah al-Mohammedawi, an official with the Interior Ministry, which oversees police. He said Fox was found with his hands tied and gun shot wounds to his head and chest. There were cuts on his body and bruises on his head, al-Mohammedawi said.

Fox, from Clear Brook, Virginia, had demonstrated in the West Bank town of Jayyus against the construction of the security fence and he helped Palestinians pick olives, local Palestinians said.
"Tom used to sit in front of the (Israeli) bulldozers to block them," said Jayyus' mayor, Shawka Shamha. "Hearing news that he was killed makes me very sad."

prayers for his family and soul
And his executioners shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" as they pumped him full of 7.62mm rounds.
Every snuff flick we see in country ends with the exact same formula.
Fox's last words were most likely a pathetic, "Why do you hate me?"
No sympathy. Better men than him lie wounded in Walter Reed.
That is exactly why I fear them!... because I know these are a different kind of "human beings" (/sarcasm). I know they would not mind blowing away 100,000 people if they could... they are the personification of "hate" itself.
I am sorry about Mr. Fox's unnecessary death. But I have to say -- the Peace Activists and Human Shields who go over there to LOVE the evil people should have to post security bonds before they leave, so THEY can be the ones who pay off the b**&turds when they demand money.
They go over there, mewling and pandering, are surprised by Reality, and then WE the taxpayers have to bail them out. And we end up funding our enemies to gain their release. When they don't represent us in the first place.
If they were our teenagers, we would be doing Tough Love.
My guess is that their organization won't learn a thing and will send more people into the fires of hell.
How did 'we the taxpayers' bail out Tom Fox?
Bet he was wishing he was in the hands of those same "evil" Israelis at the end, though! He appears to have been a well-meaning fool and I am sorry that it ended this way for him; but maybe other people who want to go olive picking with the Palestinians, mischief-making in Iraq, etc. will take notice.
But I read that this "peace" group he was involved with was looking into Iraqi prisoners claims that they are being tortured by American troops..... Looks like his group is on the wrong side of the war on terror if you ask me.
This is so basic that even the original STAR TREK got this one right. I don't want to trivialize this, but go back and watch the episode where Kirk and the gang beam down to the planet where they wage war by computer. As I recall, the idiot ambassador almost gets everybody killed. Happily, the "barbarian" Kirk blows up the computer ending the genocidal game.
The unfortunate hostages in Iraq must have felt about like the Ambassador in the Star Trek episode when he was informed by the alien council leader that he was to be killed. Too bad, the hostages didn't have the savvy but bloodthirsty Kirk and Scotty to save them. Let's hope America does not have to invoke "General Order 4" to bring the islamo-fascists to heel.
"He and Chicago co-director Carol Rose blamed the U.S. involvement in Iraq, backed by Britain, for the captives' dilemma, and urged both nations to release detained Iraqis."
this quotation is from the co-directors of the peace organization to which fox and the other hostages belong.
(it is from the article.)
Think other "peace activists" will get it?
Or will they wallow in self pity?
this group only protests oppression when it is being done by the US Canada, or Israel. (they have a web site i checked out awhile back.)
they don't protest much against oppression by communist or islamic regimes.
once the other hostages are murdered, this group will leave iraq and go back to canada and the US, where it is safe, and continue protesting against our evil oppressiveness.
"the idiot ambassador almost gets everybody killed"
Their primary function, apparently.
