Al Qaeda chief executive Usama bin Laden today requested a formal
ruling from the U.N. Human Rights Commission on how to conduct
beheadings of civilian and military prisoners in ways that comply
with the Geneva Conventions.
"Al Qaeda seeks the global credibility that comes only from
adherence to the Geneva Conventions," Mr. Bin Laden wrote.
"Specifically we want to know what kind of cutlery is permissible
[and] guidelines for videotaping the beheading . . . ." . . .
