Web Site: 2nd U.S. Hostage Killed in Iraq
Associated Press | September 21 2004
CAIRO, Egypt - A posting on an Islamic Web site claimed Tuesday that the al-Qaida-linked group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has slain a second American hostage in Iraq. The claim could not be verified immediately.
The group, Tawhid and Jihad, kidnapped two Americans - Jack Hensley and Eugene Armstrong - and Briton Kenneth Bigley in Baghdad on Sept. 16. Armstrong was beheaded by al-Zarqawi and the militants on Monday posted a gruesome video of his death.
The new posting came as the militant group's 24-hour deadline passed for the release of all Iraqi women from U.S. custody.
"The youths of Tawhid and Jihad killed the second American hostage after the end of the deadline," the statement said. It was signed with the pseudonym Abu Maysara al-Iraqi. It promised to provide video of the death soon.
The brief statement did not give the name of the hostage killed.
