| EXECUTION: FOUR HELD |
|
The 26-year-old businessman's decapitated body was found 10 days ago in Baghdad.
His killing was shown around the world on the internet.
The poor quality website video showed Berg dressed in orange overalls kneeling on the floor with his hands tied back.
There were five masked men behind him. One read a statement urging Muslims to take revenge over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers.
The masked men then pushed the American contractor to the floor and shouted "God is greatest" above his screams.
His head was cut off with a knife and then held aloft.
The website said the execution was performed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a top ally of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
It is not known if he was among the four people arrested.
More...
Nicholas Berg's headless body was found May 9 in western Baghdad. Three days later, a videotape posted on an al-Qaeda-related website showed him being decapitated by hooded men.
Berg's captors said the killing was to avenge abuses of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison by US forces.
if one is zarky, I am taking the day off to celebrate...
4 out of 5 ain't bad!
Don't forget to slather the tank tracks with pig fat.
Good.
gee sir, they broke.
Four people have been arrested over the beheading of US businessman Nicholas Berg, whose decapitated body was found 10 days ago in Baghdad.
I think it's pretty obvious that it's Bush, Cheney, Rummy and Ash... that's what Michael Berg told me anyway.

" WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
DIVERSITY IS STRENGTH"
Excellent!
As Jimmy Durante warned years ago, "Everybody wants to get into the act!"
Great! Hoping for confirmation.
I believe we need to enlist a few Kurdish interrogators to relieve our MPs of the extra work in extracting the necessary information from them on zarky.
Great news if true. Here's hoping.
bttt
Now waiting for headline:
AFP: Johnny Cochran to establish dream team to represent the four accused men. Mr. Cochran seeks to have the trial moved to Los Angeles to ensure his clients get a fair trial.
ABC radio just broke in with the news.

Heck with That "Off with their claws"
Give them a trial by firing squad.
How much you wanna bet that the missing terrorist is the one who actually did the deed.
I had to read that one a couple of times. Hahaha, you know Kerry will never miss an opportunity to bash Bush. He'll probably use the unfortunate Mr. Berg as a prop on stage.
