I think the French translation indicates that four men were arrested for the execution of Nick Berg and that a representative of the French Goverment surrendered to them.

Interrogée sur le fait de savoir si plus d'une personne avait été arrêtée en liaison avec le meurtre, cette source a indiqué: "oui, quatre personnes"

Essentially: Asked about this, to know if more than one person had been arrested assisting the murderer, the source indicated "yes, four persons."

."Nous avons fait de grands progrès", a affirmé cette source en parlant de l'enquête sur l'exécution.

We've made great progress, confirmed this source, speaking of the inquest on the execution. (remember, these are french reporters)

I doubt these are the guys; they're probably in Syria. (the frenchman didn't say this)

I don't think it's a particularly good time to admit it.

Four people linked to the execution of the American businessman Nicholas Berg, the corpse of whom was discovered ten days ago in Baghdad, are being detained, according to statements to the AFP by a highly-placed Iraqi source.

Asked whether he knew of anyone being arrested in connection to the murder, this source said: "Yes, four people."

The video, showing the the young (redundant) 26-year-old businessman beheaded by a masked man claiming to act in revenge for the abuse suffered by Iraqi detainees, had been widely published (? not an exact translation, but the gist) by an Internet site.

"We have made great progress," this source claimed when speaking of the investigation of the execution.
