| Bigley escaped but was recaptured by Zarqawi |
| 2004-10-10 |
| Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the fanatical leader of the terror gang that kidnapped Kenneth Bigley, is believed to have handed down a summary execution order and then watched as the Briton was beheaded. Zarqawi is believed to have been enraged after Mr Bigley made a bid to escape after three weeks in captivity. The order to kill him apparently came just hours after he was recaptured and returned to the hostage-takers. Last night Ibrahim Janabi, chief of staff to the Iraqi prime minister, Ayad Allawi, said a military operation aimed at flushing out Zarqawi and his gang from Latifiya, where Mr Bigley was held, was imminent. The SAS is believed to be operating alongside crack US Delta Force troops. "The security forces are moving into position. There is a scheduled attack on Latifiya imminent. We want to eradicate Zarqawi," he said. A man who identified himself as Abu Amir and said he was a spokesman for the terror group, told an Iraqi reporter working for The Sunday Telegraph that Zarqawi watched as gang members decapitated the 62-year-old civil engineer. "Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi decided yesterday that it was necessary," he said. "As soon as he gave the order we carried it out immediately. He stayed in the room to watch in person as we killed Kenneth. He praised us." |

| #4 As soon as he gave the order we carried it out immediately. He stayed in the room to watch in person as we killed Kenneth. He praised us." Ha! Me thinks they doth protest too much. Zarqawi was there...he gave the order..he praised us... honest! If it's so important that we know that Zarqawi was present - why didn't he show his mug in the video tape? Sounds to me like Zarqawi wasn't there, but they want very badly for us to think that he was. |

| #1 He had a go, so those fuckers beheaded him whilst Zarqawi watched. I just want to here the story come up that there's been a firefight, and that all those animals were killed, along with 20-30 tooled up 'bystanders' that got in the way. For no casualties on our side. And that we know have Zarqawi's balls in a vice and are interrogating him. |
