"Militants in Iraq Kill S. Korean Hostage" (Todd Pitman, AP/Yahoo! News, 2004/06/22)


"An Iraqi militant group has beheaded its South Korean hostage, Al-Jazeera television reported Tuesday, just hours after a go-between said the execution had been delayed and there were negotiations for the man's release.
The South Korean foreign ministry issued a statement confirming that Kim Sun-il had been killed but did not say he was beheaded.
Kim's body was found by the U.S. military between Baghdad and Fallujah, 22 miles west of the capital, at 5:20 p.m. Iraq time, said South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Shin Bong-kil. ...
The videotape of Kim, apparently made shortly before his death, showed him kneeling, blindfolded and wearing an orange jumpsuit similar to those issued to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Five hooded men stood behind Kim, one reading a statement and gesturing with his right hand. Another captor had a big knife slipped in his belt.
One of the masked men said the message was intended for the Korean people. 'This is what your hands have committed. Your army has not come here for the sake of Iraqis, but for cursed America.'"
