4 Arrested for Berg Death

From Yahoo News:
Four people have been arrested over the beheading of US businessman Nicholas Berg, whose killing was shown earlier this month in a video on an Al-Qaeda linked website, a senior Iraqi source said.

Asked if more than one person had been arrested in connection with the killing, the source told AFP: "Yes, four people."

Berg's beheading was shown on a grainy video posted on the Islamic website linked to Osama bin Laden's terror network, days after his body was found in Baghdad on May 8.

"We have made good progress," the source added, referring to the investigation, but declined to give any details on the identity of the four people held in detention.

But it was understood that none of the four included Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, who US authorities believe carried out the killing of the 26-year-old who was in Iraq (news - web sites) to drum up business for his small telecommunications company.

The tape of Berg's killing was entitled "Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi slaughtering an American", referring to the Jordanian militant, linked to Al-Qaeda and wanted over a string of attacks in Iraq.

Matt's Chat

Zarqawi MUST meet justice for this. It is a moral imperative that must be filled. As quickly as possible for the sake of our fellow citizens and the good people in/of Iraq. Diligent resolve must be employed in finishing up this business.

Mark's Remarks


Here is the difference of why America will ALWAYS be better than the way of these animals....Where was Mr. Berg's trial? Where was the evidence? What did he do? These pitiable and scumsucking maggots who masquerade as human beings will be given fair trials, they will have rights that will be protected, and some people say we are not setting and example or living up to our ideals? Come on. These animals will be treated with more respect than they gave Berg or the corpses their compatriots dismembered for sport. We are showing the way, showing what true justice is. Now, when they are found guilty, they need to meet the harshest punishment possible.

Zarqawi, that man is pure evil. He must meet the most horrible end possible. It pains me to say this as a Christian, but death is too good for this guy....He must be dealt with, he must be destroyed and all those like him.
