BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Islamic insurgent group said on Thursday it had killed a U.S. hostage who, if the claim is confirmed, would be the first foreign captive killed in Iraq for four months and the first American in more than a year. The reported killing came after a suicide bomber killed 30 people in an attack on a crowded bus in central Baghdad, the latest chapter in Iraq's bloody insurgency just a week before Iraqis vote in parliamentary elections. A statement posted on a Web site often used by insurgents said the Islamic Army in Iraq killed the security consultant, identified as Ronald Schulz, because the U.S. government had not met its demands, which included freeing all Iraqi prisoners. "War criminal (U.S. President George W.) Bush continues with his arrogance and no one has any value unless they serve his criminal interests, therefore the American security adviser pig at the Housing Ministry has been killed," the statement said.

funny that last paragraph...

I wonder if these aspirants of the "religion of piece" carved his head off like Nick Berg and others?

Unconfirmed.

RE: the "religion of peace" comment, These people who kidnap and kill in the name of Allah are no different than Chistian Whackos who protest funerals of fallen soldiers because they fought for a "gay" army. Or the idiots who bomb abortion clinics in the name of God. Or also the dumbasses who say that events like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina are "God's Wrath" and punishing a sinful nation.

The insurgents may execute hostages but the Americans torture them to death. Personally I think its more acceptable for someone to have a quick execution (I am not justifying the executions but I am pointing out that that insurgents are not the only people commiting atrocities) .
