Japanese Man Says Brother Killed in Iraq

By KENJI HALL
TOKYO (AP) - A Japanese man confirmed Saturday that his older brother, a security worker kidnapped in Iraq, was the dead man shown on an extremist Islamic militant group's Web site, an official said. Iraqi authorities immediately condemned the killing.

A three-minute video posted Friday on the Web site of Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sunnah Army showed footage of a bloodied Asian man lying on his back with arms outstretched, as well as documents with his name and photographs of his face. A statement, accompanied by Quranic verses, identified the dead man as Japanese hostage Akihiko Saito.

Folks, those of you who say he deserved to die, please say 'Aye' and state why.
