The website used by Abu Musab al Zarqawi's al-Tawhid Wal Jihad terrorist organization has posted the
of American hostage Jack Hensley, confirming earlier reports that Zarqawi's group was responsible. The website also
, released earlier at an Islamic discussion board, of Briton Kenneth Bigley pleading for his life. An obvious propaganda film aimed at bringing public pressure on the Blair government, Bigley is seen in the video pleading for the help of British citizens in securing his release.
The website also posted a message which tries to blame Blair's Labour government for Mr. Bigley's predicament. The site claimed the Bigley would be released if "tens" of female prisoners in Iraq are freed. The Coalition Authority claims only 2 women are being held, both of whom worked on Saddam Hussein's WMD program.

There is a webpage that is claiming that the reason behind these hostage takings is because security has been compromised from within.
Sounds resonable to me as I have thought from the word get that these people are right under the coalitions noses thus their mask wearing to disguse themselves from those they are working in plain view of.

Yeah, NEIN is a good source for some stuff, but I find their "exclusive analysis" to be based on rumors they hear at Islamic bulletin boards. So, when it comes to news they seem pretty good--but their analysis tends to be pretty spotty--especially their warnings of imminent attacks they make from time to time.

It seems that Britain has ruled out negotiating with the kidnappers, and the US says it will not allow the release of a woman scientist being held in Iraq.
Mr Blair spoke to the family, who are staying at Mr Bigley's mother's home in Walton, for a second time an hour before she made her appeal on Thursday.
After watch Mr Bigley pleading on that video some thing is sticking in my mind , he says something about releasing the female prisoners as they have children and husband that are missing them too (or something along them lines) it makes me wonder if any of the tawhid and jihad Group, led by al-Qaeda suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, thats holding Mr Bigley, are related to either of these female prisoners
