Hoax: U.S. Soldier Captured, Threatened With Beheading
Update: It appears to be a hoax and the photo on the website appears to be that of an action figure.
Bad news to report. A U.S. Soldier reportedly has been captured by Iraqi miltants and they are threatening to behead him.
The posting, on a Web site that frequently carried militants' statements, included a photo of what appeared to be an American soldier in desert fatigues seated with his hands tied behind his back. A gun barrel was pointed at his head, and he is seated in front of a black banner emblazoned with the Islamic profession of faith, "There is no god but God and Muhammad is His prophet."
The website suggests the group has killed other soldiers and currently is holding more.
“Our mujahedeen heroes of Iraq’s Jihadi Battalion were able to capture American military man John Adam after killing a number of his comrades and capturing the rest,” said the statement, signed by the “Mujahedeen Brigades.”
How many soliers are missing and for how long?
