Kenneth Bigley Beheading Video Released

bigley1.jpgPictured right: Image from the videotaped beheading of Kenneth Bigley.

The Beheading video of Kenneth Bigley was posted to an Islamic bulletin board today. Images from the video and information on this sad news can be found at my original post and can be viewed by CLICKING HERE. The following are two links to the video, both are horribly graphic and should not be seen by minors. You can view the video in Real Player format by clicking here (courtesy of the Northeast Intelligence Network). The video can also be downloaded in Windows Media format by going to the Terrorist Media site, although you must sign up for a free password. Transcripts of Ken Bigley's last plea can be found at Blogs of War or Digger's Realm. The video is truly gruesome. In the video, Bigley seems unaware of his impending death. Instead, he pleas one last time for Tony Blair to give the terrorists what they want. Unfortunately for Ken Bigley, what the terrorists want is a world-wide Islamic state. A state where freedom of religion is a thing of the past. A state where Hindus and Buddhists are forced to convert or be killed. A state where Christians and Jews are second class citizens, what Muslims call dhimmis. [Hat tip: Digger, who e-mailed me about this.]

1 Hi, It's time you stopped posting the links/images for these barbaric videos .What's then the difference between this blog and ( Aljazzera, ogrish..etc ). My advice is that if this is a part of a propaganda stuff for the terrorists don't be a part to it.

2 Roopesh, this is nothing like Ajazzera, etc. When barbaraism, such as this, gains a blind eye, people will forget who we're fighting. These beheadings have already dropped off front page news. Personally, I didn't spend well over a decade of my life in the military, at the ready and training other American men and women to defend this country, (or any other, for that fact) in the hopes that people would soon forget what these foul forms of life are all about. I am glad that some want to see what's happening to these poor souls. While it's true that some people look at these images for sick pleasure, others do not. You can bet that Mr. Bigley would want the world to know and remember what these devil spawns did to him. Close your eyes if you choose not to see. Thats your choice. But, don't chastise others for keeping their eyes open or spreading reality.

3 Well said. These terrorists, poisonous vermin that they are, must be identified before they can be exterminated. I cannot watch these videos, but I'm glad there there are those that will and tell others of the horrors contained in them.

4 Well, 72 virgin Male Camels wait for these vermin in hell. Hope they enjoy the afterlife and hope they are send there sooner than they expect.

5 The videos are being shown for a good reason and that is so people can see what bastardly, cowardly, barbaric animals we are fighting against in this new age of horrific terrorism and how these ants have a compulsion to this kind of terror and absolutely no care or conscience regarding these acts. It is vital that the people know exactly what we are dealing with here and why, like vermin, that they need to be exterminated and do whatever has to be done to stop these acts and other acts of barbaric terrorism that these people inflict. This is why we do this - not for any other reason. On another note, there were rumors that Ken Bigley tried to escape but based on his demeanor, the way he was talking, his comfort zone, I don't think he had any idea he was going to be beheaded at this juncture - unless of course, it was a spliced tape - he was much too calm. I hope I see the day when these cowards with this propensity are either caught and executed or some rocket splices right through their bodies. I can't think of any way for them to die that makes up for what they have done to this man, others, and their damn car bombs. 17 virgin male camels is right!!! ~C

6 I feel that its very inappropiate to put these videos on any web site. I also feel that the people who do these beheadings to innocent people are disgusting, and VERY wrong. It is ridculous to think by killing these people they are going to see "ALLAH". Thats BULL$#IT. All of those @$$holes are going to HELL. I wouldn't wish death to anyone. Everyone has a family, and a life. Why can't any of us get along? Everyone has a different belief in religion. I pray to my God everyday, that these killings will stop, and we can all communicate, shake hands, and realize how precise life really is. Live life to the fullest, go out and have fun, meet different people without fearing death. If these terrorists get caught, they should get their arms, and legs removed,and thats how they should live for the rest of their lives. I wouldn't wish them dead, just disabled for all the pathetic $#It they pulled. Then God can judge them.

7 Another sad chapter in the history of humanity....to think of all the great things we as a planet have accomplished...space travel, fine art, even the civil rights movement had its up's yet we still resort to these terrible act of cruelty and I say we as WE all live on this small little blue ball of our's......what happens to one affects us in all different ways....... We all like to think were different - Black, White, Yellow, Brown, Left, Right, Centre, Good, Bad and sometimes ugly but as life usually points out........We are all the F*%^ing same.

8 N/A, unfortunately these radical islamists don't think that way and never will. Everywhere around the world, people see these things on their television sets; we don't, so we don't see this very real enemy, invisible enemy, and what they do like the rest of the world does. Therefore, it's important that people do see - and understand what a threat these people are to everyone's life, country, family and socialization. If you don't want to see them, don't look, don't watch these cold blooded killers who'd do this to anyone who isn't a Muslim and even others muslims aren't obviously safe. You should also look up information on this "religion," these people, their beliefs, and a whole lot more. You have quite an education ahead of you and I'm sure someone can tell you better what this is all about but even if you don't understand it now, do remember how brutally immoral and "sick" and dangerous these people are to you and me and the rest of the world. You hear the things they do everyday but I do suggest you do some reading and maybe Rusty can steer you in the right direction so you can understand how awful these animals are and why they are a danger to this world. ~C

9 So. 4 minutes, 45 seconds of video. 4 minutes of rambling, both Bigley and the morons in ski masks, 8 seconds of blurry activity, 2 seconds of the aforementioned morons holding up what could be a head, a basketball, or a duffle bag. Who can tell? More rambling. What strikes me most is that there is not ONE drop of blood to be seen. You cut yourself shaving and it drips blood everywhere. I'm thinking if you get your head hacked off in a frenzy of Islamic lust, there's going to be a bit of blood, perhaps on the hands at least of the said hacker. But in this instance, not a drop anywhere to be seen - hands, floor, walls - anywhere. It's a hoax and stupid Westerners are eating it up, just like the morons want us too. Shame on all of you. Bigley is dead, I'm sure, but I'd be willing to bet that video is NOT the actual event. SolomonsWishbone

10 Maybe you're right, maybe his head just fell off and they happedned to catch it on video

11 BIGLEY WAS A GREEDY CUNT HE KNEW THE RISK GOING THERE WOT ABOUT THE MARINES WHO WERE LOOKIN FOR HIM THEY DESERVE A HEROES PRAISE , BIGLEY WASNT ""OUT THERE HELPING IRAQ "" HE WAS OUT EARNING BIG CASH FROM AN ILLEGAL DESTRUCTION THAT US BRITS AND THE SHIT YANKS DID , WOT ABOUT THE INNOCENTS DYING ? WELL BIGLEY WASNT INNOCENT, HE WAS WHERE HE WASNT WANTED LIKE A THEIF IN UR HOUSE

12 Wishbone, I'm sure the video was edited and the slaughter afterresults were not shown. After viewing Armstrong's close up beheading, this is by far, horrible yes, but tamer than the others. The shouts of the bastards drowned out whatever screaming we may have heard fro Bigley...thank God. Unfortunately, that was his head, make no mistake about that. Anyway, we know he's dead, what diff. would it make? Would you feel better if he was shot instead? Dead is dead, whether or not the beaheading video was staged, which I'm sure it wasn't. What bothered me, is his hair was carefully groomed, and he appeared to be clean shaven, not at all like when he was first captured, and his hair was all disheveled. Did anyone notice that?

13 VAMP: you are one sick shit!! Decided not to see the video. Seen enough already. Seen one, seen them all. Just want to strike back.

Posted by: greyrooster at October 11, 2004 12:31 PM (/rKIG)

14 VAMP, I hope you can sleep at night. Yes I do agree that it is shit that we follow the plastic population (Yanks) and their dumbass president into an unwanted war. I hope that one day they decide to leave the Iraqi people to deal with it themselves. But to have a go at Mr Bigley is very low indeed. We all want to make money in life, whatever way we do it. I hope his family will be spared from your venomous shite. I, like most decent people, would like to see these low life scum die the most painful, undignified death known to humans. Even that would not be extream enough.

15 Speaking solely of the video, I am looking very closely at the still of his head, it most certainly looks as though there is an entry wound, i.e., bullet wound to the forehead! Also, when they are holding up the head, you can see scraps of orange? Part of the jumpsuit? Or is it the head? This was a very grainy video, not like Armstrong's which left nothing to the imagination, you saw up close that it was his head, heard the screams, etc. I think the video was stopped at the point they threw him down on the ground, then he was shot, then it cuts back to the video where it looks as though they are cutting his head, yet whatever screams would be heard from Bigley, were drowned out by the killers' shouts. One can assume he was beheaded of course, with the final scene of the head on top of the body, but I personally feel as though he was shot in the head. No less gruesome, of course, and as I've said before, does it really matter the method in which he was killed? No. He's still dead, unfortunately. I wish the others had already been dead before they were so savagely cut. Of course, I wish they weren't dead at all.

16 What I don't understand is how morons like steve39 operate a pc while w**king their cat. Do us all a favour, cut your own head off.....maybe we'll get the quality you're babbling about

18 'Maybe you're right, maybe his head just fell off and they happedned (sic) to catch it on video" . . . Ha! Ha! That's so funny. How long did it take you to come up with that gem??? Laura . . the thing that gets me about the video is how we in the west are eating it up, either for morbid reasons, or pathetic ones. Either way, we show how sad we really are. Even bothering to comment on forums like this is pretty meaningless. Bigley is dead, I agree. Doesn't matter how. It's tragic, but realistically, we have to say that anyone who goes to Iraq knows the risks. The Islamists are on a roll. This is their 15 minutes of fame. They're milking it for all they can get before they KNOW it will be over. They are just animals.

Posted by: SolomonsWishbone at October 12, 2004 04:15 AM (jq4Az)

19 Yes, but as someone mentioned on another forum, Bigley's been there for like, 10 yrs.? There WAS no risk then! I agree, that he should have bailed when 9/11 happened, or right after Bush sent the troops there. No way would I have remained there under any circumstances. Do some people have a thrill seeking personality? Death wish? Greedy for all the money they can grab? Still doesn't justify such a horrible end, does it? No one deserved that, no one. you're right though, even discussing the beheadings, are what the terrorists want...to keep the anger and hatred going, to piss us off...that means what they're doing is effective, in their minds. I wouldn't be surprised if they have people hired to search the web for our comments, to see how much of a reaction they've caused in the west. But morbid curiousity being what it is, I doubt very much these websites and blogs about the war, beheadings etc., that they will ever disappear. People need a forum to vent on.

20 [Subrosa] Looks like I've been censored Won't bother posting again, but lay off my cat That's just uncalled for and very upsetting

Posted by: steve39 at October 12, 2004 10:51 PM (E38NG)

21 Must say it seems a bit ironic being rebuked for being offensive on a website which has videos of people having their heads chopped off. and i have wireless so I can walk my cat and operate my PC at the same time

Posted by: steve39 at October 13, 2004 05:18 PM (uN8NQ)

22 Laura > does it really matter the method in which he was killed? I think it does. It's more shocking to think that someone was killed by being beheaded live and conscious, as opposed to a relatively humane death by being shot in the head (I agree about the bullet wound). The media want a sensational story and to portray the perpetrators in the worst possible light, so won't be interested in analysis that, however slightly, diminishes the enormity of the actions allegedly shown. So they buy into taking it at face value - when the obscured view and continuity jumps make it very open to interpretation. Same with Nick Berg. Analysis by forensics experts (see Asia Times) shows pretty conclusively that he was beheaded post-mortem.

24 I WANT SEE HOW THE BIGLEY KILLED.. I WANT SEE A VIDEO TAPE...

Posted by: INDRA at October 19, 2004 10:01 PM (5s/Rh)

25 Yes, by far, the Nick Berg video looks as though poor Nick was already dead....you can hear screams but they don't coincide with the video! Could it be they recording his screams before they killed him, and then turned the camera on to record the beheading after he was already dead? Paul Johnson looked dead before they beheaded him as well. The goriest one by far, is poor Armstrong. Why were the terrorists not chanting anything and were very quiet when they started to cut his head, yet they were heard chanting and shouting throughout Bigley's? You cannot explain these atrocities no matter what their methods are. I couldn't even see doing that to an animal, let alone a human being, for any reason. Have they recovered Bigley's body? I didn't hear anything about a funeral or burial? God bless them all and the families that are left to suffer their losses.

Posted by: Laura at October 21, 2004 08:02 PM (ptOpl)

26 uz r all sick bastards for even wanting to see the video tape in the first place put it this way he did not deserve to be killed like thet does not mater if he was or wasn't ment to be there!!!! SICK IN THE HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BASTARDS!!!!!

32 Everybody can see the pain and suffering caused by the muslim nation towards the west. What about the way the muslims are being treated by the west. The US soldiers dessicrated the muslim holy book in Guantanamo Bay. Nobody can see that. Everybody is jus SO self centered, in particular the people from from the west, the selfish bastards, dont think anybody, but themselves.

33 Speaking to the human beings out there, not the nationalities or religions, just the people: no one ever "deserves" to have this sort of "justice" (or revenge) meeted out to them by other human beings in any fashion, no matter what their crime. A society's civilisation can be judged by the method in which it deals with its enemies. I wouldn't wish a death like that on anyone. And to those of you so eager to speak of nationality in this; how he deserved it, the yanks deserve it, etc... I got news for you: muslim, christian, hindi, jew, when you're dead you all turn into the same pile of half-rotted plant fertilizer. If any of you decrying the Yank and Brits think your own government doesn't have its hand in waay too many pies, you need to open your eyes. If any of you think America or the Western countries have done anything to merit the actions taken against this man or any other in so brutal a fashion; put your mother/brother/sister in their place. A man is not a country nor a government. Beheading that man did no more for the Islamic cause than beheading a cat on live feed. It did no more than raise the heart-rate of those poor, misguided young men hiding beind those masks, no more than feed the strange dark tendencies which seem to fill all of human kind when they convince themselves yet another untouchable and unseeable deity has commanded them to slaughter others in its name. War is unfortunate. Violence is abhorrent. But terrorism has never, in the history of mankind, accomplished any more than the villification of those people who share the midnset but not the methods of the terrosists. Remember: there is no nation which exists today which did not reach its current state by, at some point in the past, either directly or indirectly, trodding on its own or another nations peoples. It is all well and good to talk of evil empires, since we all are happy citizens of them. If it helps you are makes you sleep better at night, remember that those young men in that video are just as happy slaughtering their own countrymen who disagree with the theocratic rule as they are a foreigner: they don't think on their own. They are told by their clergy what to think. Plixtle

34 To swisspeaks: It is interesting that America is being so decried for the "unfair" treatment of TERRORISTS in Abu Grahib, when it is the american press which ran the story FIRST as a result of the inquiry. It is not usually the habit of oppressive regimes to police thier own actions so closely. Let's be realistic here: Terrorists set off carbombs in the midst of their own town squares, shredding their own citizenry along with our soldiers. They behead live folks on TV for PR spectacle, they still conduct stonings in some villages for women who are deemed "sinful"... So some yokel under the employ of the US military messes with thier holy writ. Unfortunate? Sure. Insulting, no doubt. Inhumane? Oh please. 3 square meals, allowance for prayer, comfortable living conditions bigger than your average state penitentiary... these are TERRORISTS... and they are better off than some of the lower income citizens in Chicago. Talk to me about inhumane when they stop shredding their own children with carbombs. I would be interested to see what sort of internment camp the terrorists would run.
