Paul Johnson Beheaded

All news sources are reporting that Al-Qaeda has beheaded hostage Paul Johnson. Bastards!

[Update] Al-Arabiya television reported the beheading. CNN has reported that Al-Arabiya had a video of the killing, but a network official said there was no video.

[Update] Apparently, there is no video, but Drudge has posted (WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC) photographs. Kevin Aylward has more at Wizbang.

[Update] Shortly after discovery of the body of Paul Johnson, Saudi Security forces killed the leader of Al-Qaida in Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz al-Moqrin, 31. Also killed were his brothers Faisal and Bandar Al-Dakheel who also were on the Saudi most-wanted list.

Also, according to reports in Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post, the Arab satellite network Al-Arabiya continues to say there is video, but attempts to access it have been unsuccessful.
