Gruesome Video of Armstrong Beheading Widely Available on Internet MND NEWSWIRE The grisly video showing the beheading of American Eugene Armstrong has become widely available on the Internet.
The six megabyte video shows Armstrong facing the camera, sitting on the floor, wearing a blindfold and an orange jumpsuit, arms bound behind his back. Behind him stand a group of five black-clad terrorists wearing hoods and carrying weapons. One of the men reads a lengthy statement in Arabic for the camera. At the end of the statement, the terrorists lean down to hold Armstrong while the man who read the statement begins to cut Armstrong's throat with a knife. Armstrong screamed horribly as blood began to gush from his throat. He struggled in vain against the brutal attack, but within moments his body grew still as his murderer continued to hack against the rent flesh of his neck. Armstrong was kidnapped along with two other victims last Thursday from an upscale neighborhood in Baghdad by terrorist group headed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian member of al Qaeda. Also kidnapped were American Jack Hensley and Briton Kenneth Bigley. Zarqawi's terrorists have said they will murder all three men if the U.S. does not release "Iraqi women" they claim are being held by the U.S. at Abu Ghraib and Umm Qasr prisons. The U.S. has denied it is holding any women at these prisons, though they are holding two women who had been involved in developing weapons of mass destruction for former dictator Saddam Hussein.
