S.Korean Hostage in Iraq Wins More Time - Mediator

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Militants threatening to behead a South Korean hostage in Iraq unless Seoul withdraws its troops have agreed to allow more time for talks on his fate, an Iraqi intermediary told Reuters Tuesday.

"The kidnappers have said they are willing to negotiate as long as the Korean government stops making provocative remarks and softens its tone on troop deployment," Obeidi said.

I don't even want to know what they are thinking right now...

I guess the four Japanese civilians who were held hostage not too long ago must feel really fortunate... after all, it could have happened to them.

[jiml1126]

I'm not sure about this, I thought I heard the man pleading and mention something about he will not work for christians whatsoever.

If that is the case, it simply creates another turmoil, wherther this korean man and his other korean counterparts are spreading christianity throughout Iraq under working for the US companies. Situation gets complicated when it comes to religion.

were the people who captured those 3 japanese has any relationships to al qaeda? i doubted. they seems to be rebels from the local tribes. that's why the japanese were freed after some negotiation between the local spiritual leader and the "criminals".

If beheading is a form of "animal behaviour" for a human, aren't killing considered that as well? I'm just raising this question.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Witnesses said large explosions rocked Fallujah late Tuesday in the same area as a U.S. airstrike last weekend. The Americans said the weekend attack targeted a safehouse used by the terrorist network of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Ambulances raced to the area after the 10:30 p.m. blasts. Wounded and dead were being evacuated, said Iraqi army Col. Mekky Zeidan.

Al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian militant thought to have ties to al-Qaida, has been blamed for a string of car bombs across Iraq, including a blast last week that killed 35 people and wounded 145 at an Iraqi military recruiting center in Baghdad.

It was al-Zarqawi's Monotheism and Jihad movement that carried through Tuesday on its threat to behead South Korean hostage Kim Sun-il after South Korea refused to withdraw its troops from Iraq.

seeing the korean boy pleading for his life was one of the hardest things to watch, his fate was sealed even when he was pleading for his life!

this so called war on terror in Iraq has seen 3 innocent people beheaded and countless innocent people killed, and here we thought Mr Bush had declared "Mission Accomplished"

[Excalibur2004]

this is just sick, this will keep happening until we get them all which is never.

They seem to like this beheading crap, we have a whole military base full of terrorists in cuba..... too bad we would never stoop to their level.

would be usless to kidnap people and ask for their friends release if they were all gone

Paul Johnson's beheading had nothing to do with Iraq.
