Arab TV reports U.S. hostage beheaded
By SALAH NASRAWI, Associated Press Writer
Al-Arabiya television reported Friday that American hostage Paul M. Johnson Jr. has been beheaded.
A great islamic tradition, it seems
Reached by telephone, an official from Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya in Dubai told The Associated Press that the news of Johnson’s death had been reported by the network’s correspondent in the Saudi capital. CNN reported that Al-Arabiya had a video of the killing, but the network official said there was no video.
Fox News sez the video's up now...
Johnson was kidnapped last weekend by militants who threatened to kill him by Friday if the kingdom did not release its al-Qaida prisoners.
Bastards... hardly surprizing, though

UPDATE: Fox News sez Reuters is reporting they found the body. Wonder if it was anyplace close to where the Soddies were looking for it?
