Website Claims British Hostage Ken Bigley Executed

UPDATE 10/08: Abu Dhabi Television reports that British hostage Kenneth Bigley has been 'executed' by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Tawid and Jihad terrorist organization. Story still developing. Information, news, links to video, pics, and images of Kenneth Bigley beheading / execution video will be posted here. UPDATES HERE.

An Islamic message board has posted a statement claiming that Abu Musab al Zarqawi's al-Tawhid Wal Jihad terrorist organization has executed British hostage Ken Bigley. A U. K. foreign ministry spokesman denied the claim's authenticity earlier today. The message was not posted by a known member of Zarqawi's group and was on a different message board than the one usually used by the group to make major announcements. Further, Zarqawi's website has not been updated since it posted a video of Ken Bigley pleading for his life. A long with the video, the website posted propaganda messages aimed at turning the British public against Tony Blair's Labour government. The website blaimed Blair for Bigley's predicament and threatened to behead Mr. Bigley if the U.K. did not meet the terrorist organization's demands. Because this propaganda strategy seems to be working, some analysts have suggested that Bigley will be kept alive past the deadline set.

UPDATES MAY FOLLOW.

3 THE TERRORISTS ARE SO BRAINWASHED THAT THEY WILL SOMEHOW BE BENEFITTED BY DOING THESE SHOCK VALUE THINGS. WHAT THEY DON'T REALIZE IS THAT WHATEVER THEY DO WILL BE NO JUSTIFICATION FOR NEGOTIATION. THEY ARE WASTING THEIR TIME. BUT I GUESS SOMETIMES PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN THE HARD WAY. MY HEART TRULY GO OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE HOSTAGES BEHEADED. I CAN'T IMAGINE THE EXTREME PAIN THEY ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW AND I HOPE THEY FIND SOME COMFORT IN THE FACT THAT THERE RELATIVE ARE AMONG THE HEROES OF AMERICA. THERE SACRIFICES KEEP US SAFE. GOD BLESS ALL THE FAMILIES AND CLOSE FRIENDS OF THE HOSTAGES WITH ALL THE STRENGTH GOD HAS TO OFFER. I AM TERRIBLY SORRY FOR THEIR STRUGGLES. WE ALL NEED TO SHOW ONGOING SUPPORT FOR THESE FAMILIES. SINCERELY & RESPECTFULLY, VICTORIA STONG (CIVIL RIGHTS & COMMUNITY ACTIVIST)

5 OH my god... Did we have all this trouble when Democrates and Bill Clinton were here ?! Guess not...PLease, for the love of America, for the love of iraquis, for the love of all theses hostages being executed, for the love of the world. Dont vote for Bush ! I mean think about. In a 4 year spawn, the face of the world has changed completly with that monkey and teamates. U.S.A being attacked , why ? Its an empire that steps on anything to get power and money just like the case was with the romans in the old times...( They're empire ended by the way ) We had no trouble with Saddam in power, he was taking care of the country( Of course he was an evil man but its worse now ). Anyways hope that bush gets away and peace will come back in this broken world.

6 Joe, Have you been under a rock until the past 4 years? Do you really believe that all of the hatred towards the US had begun when G.W. took office? While I value your opinion I think you should take a current history course to gain some knowledge of world affairs. Now I hope that I misunderstand you because it looks as though you have a problem with the US being a world power and I am sure that you must not have a problem with the US as a whole being a wealthy society. Would you prefer that we get stepped on or do the stepping?

7 JOE, >>>>OH my god... Did we have all this trouble when Democrates and Bill Clinton were here ? ANSWER USS COLES Remember poor old Bill getting BJ's in the oval office. FACT Bill Clinton had the oppurtunity to eliminate Bin Ladin but would not give the OK instead he shot a rocket in the mountains killing a camel. >>>>PLease, for the love of America, for the love of iraquis, for the love of all theses hostages being executed, for the love of the world. Dont vote for Bush ! ANSWER For the love of America VOTE for Bush. I have no love for the Iraqi people and to be honest There are only a few countries in the world that I do have love for. >>>>>I mean think about. In a 4 year spawn, the face of the world has changed completly with that monkey and teamates. ANSWER If you think for a minute this all started when Bush came into office You are sadly mistaken it all started with Mr Clinton's foreign policy, cutting the military and so on. >>>>>We had no trouble with Saddam in power, he was taking care of the country( Of course he was an evil man but its worse now ). Taking care of the country?? What in God's name are you smoking. 18 month tour for me there and the uncovering of thousands of bodies in mass graves. Saddam along with his sons was an evil bastard that had no regard for human life his way or no way. Just imagine what happened to people like you that voiced thier opinion. You see here it is OK because that is your right there your tongue would be cut out. He was not taking care of his country he was a barbarian that lived high on the hog while his soin's raped and killed woman.

8 Dear Brigette, I don’t know where you are from, what your education is or how they brought you up. One thing I can see from your answer to David, they did not teach you to respect other people their opinion. You are very poor if you think that the USA is a wealthy society.

Posted by: Kul at September 27, 2004 05:54 AM (GhJdZ)

9 I do believe Kul that I detect a hint of hypocracy in your comment.Why are you not respecting my opinion?! And as far as a wealthy society or country if I am incorrect in my judgement, where would you classify the US? I am sorry that you are unable to see that the US is in fact a wealthy country with a global economy. Although not all of us are able to benefit from its wealth it is still in fact the case. I also am aware that on many local levels unfortunately there is poverty that is why I used the description "as a whole".

10 BLAIR CANNOT MOVE ON. So Tony Blair has prayed in church for Ken Bigley: do we take it he has also prayed for the souls of the tens of thousands of Iraqi's killed in the war, and for those still to die? Mr Blair is, in Jungian terms, identified with the hero archetype. He is a Siegfried conquering the evil dragon in the hope of finding the treasure of a re-ordered world made to his black and white Manichean ideals. Jung stated that whenever anyone is identified with an archetype, he is driven to its fatal goal. Behind the hubris of the hero lies his shadow, which kills him. We must assume that nemesis awaits Mr Blair as his hubristic heroic ideals carry him to their fate. The collapse of electoral support for him is just beginning.

11 Info as to wealth of America. It is true that the USA does not have the highest per capita income in the world. America is second. However, nunber 1, Luxenburg, has only a few thousand people. No one else is even close. So KUL, so much for your education. I know you don't get much from Rangoon U.

12 America go home and let the iraq`s do their job if the people of Iraq are not behind you than there are NO winners only losers Most terrorists came from outside iraq and came inside Iraq after the power vacuum each war has its terrible gruesome facts yesterday 35 kids were killed by a al zargawi group ......the same group who beheaded the 2 american citizens this has NOTHING to do with muslim believe they terrorist`s would work perfect in a human destroy camp of Adolf Hitler Himmler or Eichmann/Mengele but I would love to see them burning after they got Zyklon B [ the german poisoning gas] but still my opinion is : NO WAR can be won without its locan people

13 I think this is horrible an eye of an eye this terrorist will pay they really are so brain washed that they think they are doing ALLAH will they will paid for their actions NOBODY DESERVES THIS but those who are guilty of doing this should in turn get the same mercy they showed their victims a bullet in the head is too good for them they desire a slow agonizing death..

14 Are all americans as dumb as G.W. BUSH ?!! Nor eally, I mean. How can you explain the weapons law that has just been left over...colombine and everyday murders in the us arent enough for you ?? How can you explain that the only ministry that americana soldiers are guarding is the ministry of oil in iraq ? How can you explain that Bush stoped any bilateral negociations with North Korean who owns the nuclear weapon ? Why dont they make peace in palestine ?!! With peace, they would stop selling their apaches and tanks to israel . think about it, U.S.A is all about money and power. Bush is a stupid puppet controled by the jewish and money lobbiest. Where is osama bin laden ?! When he was cornered by the troops and about to get captured they decided to get the fuck out and go to iraq. Come on you stupid americans, get real to the world situation. What about all the international treaties waved by Bush ? People, please go to school and learn some basics of life.

Posted by: Joe at October 02, 2004 01:43 AM (jS/er)

15 Joe- reading your comments, I had a lot of thoughts come to mind, but I will limit myself and stick to the bascis... 1) try to respect people in authority- maybe Bush could do a better job if he didnt have to deal with people like you. 2)its intreseting you bring up Columbine and hold Bush resposible? I would like to say first of all that Columbine happened April 20th, 1999. Bush was inaugurated January 20, 2000. How could he possibly have any resposibility for what happened? So in answer to your earlier question if we had "all this bad stuff happen" while the democrats and Clinton where in office... that would be a yes. I think that in desperation to blame someone, you are just blaming the president for everything that goes wrong... yes, he doesn't always make the smartest choices, but he has done a good job considering the circumstances. And about the whole money and power thing- you're forgetting one thing, take it from someone who has a friend that lives in Afganistan- the world hates the US- and its not like they are going to let us waltz in and try to "settle" everything, especially Israel and Palastine, that conflict has been going on for a much longer time than in only Bush's years in office... so unless you have one hell of a good plan to save the world, be a superhuman, and be elected as president, I would stop blaming the president and searching for crazy conspiracy theories. But as a side note, if you were running- I would probably end up voting for you. Just my opinion, take or leave it, but no hard feelings...

16 I didnt say that bush was responsible for colombine but he is the one voting for free weapons to the american people. Wasnt he the one exectuing everyone in texas also?! Going to Iraq was definetly a bad decision. By the way bush is not responsible for much, he's only a puppet run by rumsfeld, cheney and wolfowitch.

Posted by: marcus at October 18, 2004 09:51 AM (oVa47)

18 marcus- no sources confirmed the fact that they were spies: it is believed to be a widespread rumor/speculation at this point in time. They were in Iraq on buisness, supposedly nothing to do with their gov., but again, none confirmed sources (grrr!) lol hope this helps?

19 TERRORISTS: PEOPLE WHO ARE BRAINWASHED BY THEIR IMAMS & OTHER RELIGIOUS LEADERS THAT THEY'RE DOING "ALLAH'S WORK" & WILL GET A BUNCH OF VIRGINS IF THEY DO SUICIDE BOMBINGS. AFTER THE EVIL DEED, THAT PERSONS SOUL REALIZES IT WAS ALL AN EVIL LIE & THAT IT'S TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! AFTER ALL, DEATH IS PERMANENT! THERE WILL BE NO "BLESSINGS" FOR TERRORISTS IN THIS WORLD OR ANY OTHER. ONLY HELL IS WAITING FOR THEM(WITH ALL DUE RESPECT). I REALLY PRAY THAT MORE VICTIMS OF THOSE THAT HAVE EXPLOITED & USED ISLAM AS AN EXCUSE TO DO WRONG, WILL WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. THERE IS NO "JUSTIFICATION" FOR TAKING A LIFE. ONLY ALLAH(GOD)HAS THAT RIGHT! NO ONE ELSE DOES, REGARDLESS OF WHAT RELIGION YOU DECIDE TO TRY TO DESTROY & EXPLOIT. THE TERRORISTS, AMONG OTHER THINGS OBVIOUSLY, HAVE DONE THEIR BEST TO DESTROY THE RESPECTABLE RELIGION OF ISLAM. THESE TERRORIST LEADERS COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ISLAM & ARE ONLY DOING THEIR BEST TO FOOL THEIR FOLLOWERS INTO THINKING "THIS IS ALLAH'S WILL". YEAH, RIGHT, ANY DAY NOW. WHAT A JOKE THEY ARE MAKING OF ISLAM. I AM A CIVIL RIGHTS & COMMUNITY ACTIVIST & I AM TIRED OF SEEING ISLAMIC PEOPLE BEING TARGETED FOR THE SELFISHNESS OF THE TERRORIST LEADERS. DON'T THEY REALIZE THEY'RE ONLY MAKING LIFE DIFFICULT FOR THE GOOD ISLAMIC PEOPLE OF AMERICA & THE WORLD? THEY ARE ONLY SERVING THEIR OWN PERSONAL AGENDA'S. WHEN WILL THESE FOLLOWERS WAKE UP? IT'S REALLY VERY SAD, BLASPHEMING & AWFUL! SHAME ON THOSE ISLAMIC LEADERS WHO ARE USING THEIR FOLLOWERS FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT. THEY ARE ONLY USING THEM TO GET UP THE POLITICAL LADDER & GET ENOUGH POWER TO BE ABLE TO BRUTALIZE ANYONE THEY WANT TO GAIN CONTROL OF THEM. I ONLY PRAY THESE TERRORIST FOLLOWERS WILL SEE THROUGH THESE "LEADERS", SAVE THEIR REPUTATIONS, FAMILIES & THEMSELVES. MANY GOOD ISLAMIC PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED DUE TO ALL THIS TERRORISM. I SAY TO THE TERRORORISTS; PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS & WAKE UP BEFORE YOU END UP DEAD IN VEIN TOO. SEPTEMBER 11 TOOK MY (STEPFATHER'S NEPHEW) COUSIN JOHN (ON FLIGHT 11), CLASSMATE FROM SCHOOL(F.F.FROM RESCUE 2;LINCOLN QUAPPE) & TUTOR FROM COLLEGE(GEORGE MORRON GARCIA). I WORKED IN GROUND ZERO(9/11-11/10/01) & WAS ALMOST BLOWN UP WITH OTHER BLDG.# 7 WORKERS BY 2 ARAB GUYS HOLDING AN ATTACHE' CASE FULL OF GUN POWDER(THANK GOD THE MILITARY AT THE 2nd CHECKPOINT GOING DIRECTLY TO BLDG.# 7 CAUGHT THEM SINCE SOMEHOW THE POLICE WERE FOOLED INTO LETTING THEM IN). NOT TO MENTION I LOST MY JOB DUE TO 9/11 TOO. SO I HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT SPEAKING TO THE TERRORISTS. I SAY TO THE TERRORISTS; WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS HURTING YOU. THOSE THAT ARE TAKING ISLAM & PERVERTING IT FOR THEIR OWN SELFISHNESS TO GET YOU TO HURT AMERICANS & OTHER COUNTRIES, ARE GETTING YOU IN TROUBLE. PLEASE DON'T BELIEVE THEM? THEY'RE LIARS. AMERICANS ARE NOT THE "MONSTERS" YOU ARE TAUGHT THAT THEY ARE. AMERICANS RESPECT ALL RELIGIONS & INDIVIDUALS. WE ARE A CIVILIZED & VERY GOOD PEOPLE. WE DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH EACH OTHER, AS NO ONE IN THE WORLD REALLY CAN(WE HAVE OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL LIFESTYLES & CHARACTERS), BUT WE CAN HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING WITH EACH OTHER & TOLERATE EACH OTHER. WE CAN ALL GET ALONG IF YOU GIVE IT A CHANCE. THIS IS THE RIGHT, PEACEFUL & RESPECTFUL WAY TO BE. NO RELIGION SHOULD DOMINATE THE WORLD. WE ARE ALL UNIQUE & SHOULD BE RESPECTED AS SO. THE WORLD WOULD BE SO BORING IF WE WERE ALL THE SAME. SO PLEASE........THINK ABOUT ALL THESE TERRORIST PLOTS YOUR SCHEMING UP. THEY'RE JUST NOT & NEVER WILL BE "JUSTIFIED". THEY ARE ALL OUTRIGHT WRONG & INCREDIBLY CRUEL. PLEASE STOP ALL THIS MADNESS? WE CAN ALL LIVE IN PEACE IF YOU COULD JUST LEARN TO SIT DOWN WITH THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT & UNITED NATIONS & DISCUSS PEACEFUL ALTERNATIVES TO RESOLVE OUR DIFFERENCES. IF YOU CARE, ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD I S POSSIBLE! SINCERELY & RESPECTFULLY, VICTORIA STONG CIVIL RIGHTS & COMMUNITY ACTIVIST/N.Y.C.
