Web site video shows American being beheaded
Al-Qaida-linked group claims killing is response to Iraqi prisoner abuse

The Associated Press
Originally published May 11, 2004, 1:14 PM EDT
CAIRO, Egypt -- A video posted today on an Islamic militant Web site showed
a group affiliated with al-Qaida beheading an American contractor in Iraq,
saying the death was revenge for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American
soldiers.

The video showed five men wearing headscarves and black ski masks, standing
over a bound man in an orange jumpsuit -- similar to a prisoner's uniform --
who identified himself as Nick Berg, a U.S. contractor whose body was found
on a highway overpass in Baghdad on Saturday.

"My name is Nick Berg, my father's name is Michael, my mother's name is
Susan," the man said on the video. "I have a brother and sister, David and
Sarah. I live in ... Philadelphia."

After reading a statement, the men were seen pulling the man to his side and
putting a large knife to his neck. A scream sounded as the men cut his head
off, shouting "Allahu Akbar!" -- "God is great." They then held the head out
before the camera.

"For the mothers and wives of American soldiers, we tell you that we offered
the U.S. administration to exchange this hostage with some of the detainees
in Abu Ghraib and they refused," one of the men read from a statement.

"So we tell you that the dignity of the Muslim men and women in Abu Ghraib
and others is not redeemed except by blood and souls. You will not receive
anything from us but coffins after coffins ... slaughtered in this way."

The video bore the title "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi shown slaughtering an
American." It was unclear whether al-Zarqawi -- a lieutenant of Osama bin
Laden -- was shown in the video, or was claiming responsibility for ordering
the execution.

The Web site on which the video was posted is known as a clearinghouse for
al-Qaida and Islamic extremist groups' statements and tapes.
