Bastards! American Eugene Armstrong is beheaded in a video released by the Army of Ansar al Sunna, a group with links to al Qaeda and headed by Abu Musab al Zarqawi. Links here and here.

[Update 8:30pm EDT] According to this report, Mr. Armstrong's body was found near a mosque in Baghdad at about 1am, AEST (11am, EDT). Also, in the beheading video, a speaker made a statement:

During the statement, the speaker also called US President George W. Bush "a dog".

Addressing Mr Bush, he said: "Now, you have people who love death just like you love life. Killing for the sake of God is their best wish, getting to your soldiers and allies are their happiest moments, and cutting the heads of the criminal infidels is implementing the orders of our Lord."

There is no better illustration of the pure evil that permeates the thinking of these murderers.
