AQ to S. Korea: Get out of Iraq or we'll behead hostage
Here we go again, dammit! The so-called brave cowards of Al Qaeda have threatened to decapitate yet another hostage.
This time, the victim is from South Korea. 33 year-old Kim Sun-il works for a trading company, doing business in Iraq. It is no known when or how he was abducted.
Al Jazeera television broadcast a tape from the terrorists today, which showed Sun-il kneeling in front of three masked and armed thugs.
The tape insists that Sun-il will be beheaded at sundown on Monday if South Korea has not announced an immediate withdrawl of their forces from Iraq. South Korea presently has 600 troops on the ground in Iraq and plans to send another 3,000 as part of the Western Coalition.
South Korea does not plan to change their troop plans.
