Al-Qaida Beheads South Korean

Very sad but predictable news.

An Iraqi militant group has beheaded its South Korean hostage, Al-Jazeera television reported Tuesday. The pan-Arab station said it had received a videotape showing that Kim Sun-il had been executed. Kim, 33, worked for a South Korean company supplying the U.S. military in Iraq and was abducted last week, according to the South Korean government. Al-Jazeera, which had not broadcast the tape, said the execution was carried out by the al-Qaida-linked group Monotheism and Jihad.

No, we won't be linking to the video even if it becomes available. We're very sorry for Mr. Kim Sun-il and his family.

Update: South Korea confirms death.
