There's hope:

On Sunday, the Ansar al-Sunna Army - a group that has claimed responsibility for past suicide bombings - said on its official Web site that it was not behind Saturday's statement. "In order to maintain our credibility in all issues we declare that this statement that was attributed to us has no basis of truth," it said. "Any statement that is not issued through our site, doesn't represent us," it said. The statement did not say whether Ansar al-Sunna Army is the group that snatched the 24-year-old Hassoun.

Here are some blogs following the story yesterday and today as events unfold:

Amanda Doherty (heads-up: several blogs have reported the goregous girl in the picture and described as the author is not the author of the blog and that the real author is her ex-boyfriend--we don't really care one way or the other)

Here is our report from yesterday. Classical Values writes why he will watch the video if there is one. There continues to be considerable debate in the blogosphere over whether to watch beheading videos. We don't choose to. Others do. If you want to watch, Ogrish is a site that carries them. The site contains ads depicting explicit p*rn, so be forewarned.
