Four Arrested Over Iraq Execution
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.
Well that seems a bit quick, especially as its almost impossible to track these people down. What do you all think. Seems a bit 'hurried' to me.
