Web Site Claims U.S. Hostage Killed in Iraq (the 2nd American) [KLP Note: Prayers and sympathy to this American's family ...It seems so small of a thing to say, but heartfelt nonetheless from all of us...] Sep 21, 2:40 PM (ET) apnews.myway.com CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - An Islamic Web site posting Tuesday claimed an al-Qaida-related group slaughtered a second American hostage in Iraq, an announcement that came as the group's 24-hour deadline for meeting its demands expired. "The nation's zealous children slaughtered the second American hostage ... after the end of the deadline," said the statement. The posting was made under the pseudonym Abu Maysara al-Iraqi, who has posted past statements on behalf of Tawhid and Jihad, a militant group led by Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Although the brief statement did not identify by name who had been killed, the announcement came a day after graphic footage of the beheading of American construction engineer Eugene Armstrong. That videotape had threatened to kill another of the three hostages abducted Thursday with Armstrong - either American Jack Hensley or Briton Kenneth Bigley. The Tuesday night statement said the American had been killed. It said video of the killing would be posted "soon."
