| Four arrested over Berg murder |
| 2004-05-18 |
| Four people have been arrested over the beheading of American Nicholas Berg, Iraq sources say. The 26-year-old businessman’s decapitated body was found 10 days ago in Baghdad. His killing was shown around the world on the internet. The poor quality website video showed Berg dressed in orange overalls kneeling on the floor with his hands tied back. There were five masked men behind him. One read a statement urging Muslims to take revenge over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers. The masked men then pushed the American contractor to the floor and shouted "God is greatest" above his screams. His head was cut off with a knife and then held aloft. The website said the execution was performed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a top ally of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. It is not known if he was among the four people arrested. |

| #7 Oh, I hope they don't humiliate these guys when they interrogate them. I wonder if a colonoscopy is justified to check their health. |

| #5 I think we should make a point of not treating these people according to the Geneva Convention. And make it very public that we are not doing so because they did not abide by the GC themselves. |

| #1 I'm not going to get my hopes up with respect to Zarqawi, but it would be a great thing if they got at least some of those responsible. |
