"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction"

BAGHDAD, Iraq — South Korea confirmed Tuesday that one of its citizens, held hostage in Iraq, had been beheaded in spite of promises of an extended deadline to meet his captors' demands.

The South Korean foreign ministry issued a statement confirming that businessman Kim Sun-il (search) had been killed by his kidnappers, according to Yonhap, the South Korean news agency. The ministry didn't say Kim had been beheaded.

President Bush condemned the beheading as "barbaric."

The Arabic-language satellite television channel Al-Jazeera first reported Kim's death, saying it had received a videotape of Kim and his captors. The tape, however, didn't show his beheading. Al-Jazeera did not say how it got the tape, or when Kim had been killed.

Kim's body was found west of Baghdad by U.S. personnel at 5:20 p.m. Iraq time, South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Shin Bong-kil told Yonhap.

The South Korean embassy in Baghdad confirmed the body was Kim's by studying an e-mailed photograph, Shin said.

"It breaks our heart that we have to announce this unfortunate news," he added.

Kim had been held by suspected Al Qaeda-linked abductors, who originally said they would kill him Tuesday. They extended that deadline during negotiations, according to Ahmed al-Ghreiri, an employee of the NKTS security firm that had been acting as an intermediary.

But his captors apparently changed their mind and executed Kim anyway.

Bush reacted to Kim's murder in an Oval Office photo opportunity with Prime Minister Peter Medgyessy of Hungary, a close ally in Iraq and the war on terror. Medgyessy said his country would not withdraw its troops from Iraq despite the recent killing of a Hungarian soldier there.

"The free world cannot be intimidated by the brutal actions of these barbaric people," Bush said.

Kim was shown on the new videotape kneeling, blindfolded and wearing an orange jumpsuit similar to those issued to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — and to those that American hostages Nicholas Berg (search) and Paul Johnson Jr. (search) wore during their own recent beheadings.

The tape showed five hooded men standing behind Kim, one reading a statement and gesturing with his right hand. Another captor had a big knife slipped in his belt.

One of the masked men said the message was intended for the Korean people.

"This is what your hands have committed," he read. "Your army has not come here for the sake of Iraqis, but for cursed America."

The Al Qaeda-linked group Monotheism and Jihad took responsibility for Kim's death, according to Al-Jazeera.

The White House reacted with outrage.

"Obviously that would be horrible news to hear," said Press Secretary Scott McClellan, who received the first news of the execution during a White House briefing. There is "simply no justification for those kinds of atrocities."

On Friday, Lockheed Martin engineer Johnson, an American who'd lived in Saudi Arabia for about a decade, was beheaded by his Al Qaeda-linked captors near Riyadh.

Last month, Berg was beheaded in Iraq, possibly by the hand of Al Qaeda-linked terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

And in early 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl (search) was kidnapped and beheaded in Karachi, Pakistan by Al Qaeda abductors.

Earlier Tuesday, the Seoul (search) government said it would evacuate all civilians in Iraq by early July.

NKTS official Kim Hyun-taek said earlier Tuesday the captors had asked to negotiate with Choi Sung-gap, president of the company, who planned to leave for Iraq as early as Wednesday afternoon.

His captors had originally threatened to kill the 33-year-old Kim if the South Korean government did not cancel its planned deployment of 3,000 troops to Iraq by early Tuesday.

But the president of NKTS, which supplies the bodyguards for Jordan's royal family, said earlier Tuesday that they'd dropped that demand and put forth new demands that Seoul was willing to meet.

"It is highly likely we will see a resolution because in Iraq they have a good impression about South Korea," said Choi, who made the comments to South Korean reporters on Tuesday before news of Kim's execution broke.

The South Korean government said Tuesday it will evacuate the last of its 22 nationals in Iraq by early next month. Most work for South Korean companies that supply the U.S. military, said Commerce, Industry and Energy Minister Lee Hee-beom.

Kim, who works for a trading company in Baghdad, was believed to have been kidnapped about 10 days ago. A videotape broadcast by Al-Jazeera before the most recent one of him in a jumpsuit showed him pleading for his life but without a blindfold and still wearing his own clothes.

The recent abductions and attacks appear aimed at undermining the interim Iraqi government set to take power June 30, when the U.S.-led occupation formally ends.

Yeah and they could of had South Korea doing what they wanted. Instead they chose good old Arab trustworthiness and now will have at least 3,000 South Korean Soldiers that will probably parade around dead terrorists, hang them from bridges, ect. Like the terrorists did to those contractors in Fallujah.

Anyone who knows them would agree the South Koreans are a ruthless bunch.

heard story about the Koreans in Vietnam that made the hairs on my neck stand up.

Think they should be allowed to take over the prison system what do you guys think.

Yea, it's time to put an end to this sh!t. The videos and pictures of civilians being beheaded, the video of the 4 Marines lying dead in the street, it's time to start using White-out in the rulebook and start taking these guys on in a way they can understand. It would be great if we could just clear out and send in wave after wave of B-52's. A nice mix of MK-82's, MK-84's and of course CBU's, and just bomb their asses all the way back to the stoneage. But, sadly, it just seems that it won't work this time. I'm not exactly sure what would be the best course of action but I definatly think that it's time to get the Media out of there and "conveniently misplace" the rulebook for a couple of weeks. Let's turn our "slightly misguided" brothers in the Marines loose and turn the place upside down. But, this is just my opinion, or more to the point, venting of frustration. Anyone having the same ideas???

The newly formed Afghan Army is taking the direct approach to
beheadings.

Well then I'll ask a civilised person. What would you do to four prisoners that are part of a group that beheaded two people on your side?

Looks like a unanimous change in the attitude of the South Koreans after the masked cowards lied about releasing Kim Seon-il.

Should we start counting the days until South Korean military starts making ear necklesses from Zarqawi's and Al-Sadr's goons?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Seoul: Yonhap News) Hwang Dae-il reporting
After the news of Kim Seon-il(age:33)'s murder by Iraqi Resistance Group spread over the country, the website of Ministry of Defense was flooded with messages urging retaliation.


Especially, some posters were so consumed with rage that they vent their hatred against not only the terrorist group which murdered Mr. Kim, but also Iraq as a country and the Iraqis as a whole.


A guy whose handle name is 'I am a corporal, too' exhorted, "Wipe out everything in Iraq, to the last grass. Declare war against Iraq at once. Doesn't S. Korea have any backbone? Send paratroopers and marines to wipe Iraq off the Globe."


Another guy raised his voice, saying, "Iraqis are no longer human. Let us hunt devils in human form living in Iraq."


Another request demanded that the mission of Suh-hee, Jema Units(S. Korean medical and engineering units), serving in Nasiriah in Southern Iraq, be changed (into combat), and repay them with death.


One poster appeared to have almost lost his mind, saying, "Zaitun Unit(note: 3,000 strong S. Korean unit soon to be dispatched) should be a combat unit and sent to Fallujah. Slaughter all men, women, young and old. That should be Zaitun Unit's mission."


A poster named Song Dong-hoon argued, "Now that our brother was killed, what's the use for relief work? Even if we have to hire mercenaries, we have to take revenge until we catch the culprits. 50 million Koreans were humiliated. We should not help their rebuilding. We should keep retaliating until the suspects are caught."


Many posters lined up to volunteer for the mission if combat troops were to be organized to retaliate against the group which murdered Mr. Kim.


A man named Chae Young-soo said, "If they take volunteers for combat troops, I will sign up unconditionally. Innocent Korean son was brutally murdered. I cannot take it anymore. I want to fight terrorists even if I would be killed by them. I want a merciless revenge."


A man named Oh Sang-jin expressed his fury, "I am a second-year reservist. I want to re-enlist and wipe them out in Iraq. I like to show what Koreans are made of."


Some harshly rebuked the government for their lack of sound negotiating strategy, killing Kim Seon-il, while Japan was able to secure the release of their hostages.


This times around, there were few messages opposing the troop dispatch. When the news of Mr. Kim's kidnapping first broke, many such messages flooded the website.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

Burry them up to their chins in pig feces-filled sow carcass. I'd set up a video recorder to see how their wailings change over the three to four days it takes for them to die, then post the funny bits.
