(Iraq) Al-Qaeda Chief Kills Turkish Hostage On Film

(Filed: 24/09/2006)

A video purporting to show the new leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq murdering a Turkish hostage has appeared on the internet.

If authentic, the recording would be the first known footage of Abu Ayyoub al-Masri, a Sunni Muslim who is said to have assumed leadership of the organisation after the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in an American airstrike in June.

The items were posted on Friday night with a statement identifying Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, as the executioner.

Masri appears flanked by two men carrying machine guns, their faces obscured by scarves.

He makes a speech denouncing Muslims who "collaborate" with the American military and then the hostage, reading from a statement in Turkish translated into Arabic by subtitles, identifies himself as Murad Buger, an employee of a Turkish company subcontracting for a Jordanian organisation that provides services to US military bases.

Mr Buger is then shot in the head three times.

The video is similar to the taped killings by al-Zarqawi's followers of the British hostage Ken Bigley and the American Nick Berg. Terrorism experts had predicted that al-Zarqawi's successor would do a grisly "spectacular" to announce his presence to the world.
