American CIA agent beheaded in Iraq: Islamist website (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/iraq_us_beheading)
3 minutes ago
DUBAI (AFP) - An Islamist website showed a videotape which it said was of a US national and CIA agent being beheaded by members of a Islamic militant group in Iraq.
In the poor-quality video, whose authenticity could not be verified, a young Western-looking man is seated on a chair surrounded by five hooded gunmen, one of whom uses a long knife to cut through the man's neck and then brandishes the head.
The same site shows a dozen photographs of the operation to kill the "CIA agent".
During the four-minute video, an identity card is shown with the purported American's photograph and the mention "visitor".
But the gunmen's words are unintelligible, apart from their cry of "Allah Akbar" (God is great) when the head is cut off.
The link is down. Hopefully another hoax.
