| Al Qaeda video shows assassination of American |
| 2004-06-13 |
| In yet another chillingly graphic video obtained by the Northeast Intelligence Network, Al Qaeda shows the assassination of another American citizen at the hands of Islamic militants. The video, released earlier this afternoon, purports to be from Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula, the division of Al Qaeda headed by Abu Hagar Al Moqrin. According to a notice on the website announcing the release of the video, the video shows "the murder of the American Jew, Robert Jacob, who was an employee Vinnell spy agency." The video begins with images of injured and dead Arab children. The scene then changes and shows two men yelling in Arabic, as they chase a man. The man can be heard begging for his life in English in what sounds like an American accent. The victim falls to the ground inside a garage as two men holding guns run towards him, and gun him down. They can then be seen rifling through his pockets. Jacob was confirmed dead under the identical circumstances earlier this week. No further confirmation as to the vericity of the video is available at this time. |

| #1 Be advised that this video is very graphic. From another article: http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_1542035,00.html The tape, seen on the website, then shows the two men rush to the body. One appears to be slitting the victim's throat. The killing takes place in the covered yard of a residential building where a 4x4 vehicle is parked in a garage space...The video described the victim as "American Jew Robert Jacob, who worked for the spy group Vinnell". |
