Beheading
Video of Eugene Armstrong Here
May Eugene Armstrong Rest in Peace - We offer our deepest sympathy to his family and
friends and apologize if they find the showing of the Video to be offensive. We supply
this video for free to show the reality of the Islamic Radical Mind who claim they
beheaded Armstrong for Allah. This is "The Evil" that President Bush warned
about. Radical Muslims must be stopped.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A video posted
on an Arab Web site showed the beheading of a man identified as American civil
engineer Eugene Armstrong. The militant group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claimed
responsibility.
The video of the beheading of the man believed to be Armstrong surfaced soon after the
expiration of a 48-hour deadline set earlier by al-Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad group for
the beheading of the three civil engineers. The men - Armstrong, American Jack Hensley and Briton Kenneth Bigley were
abducted Thursday from their home in a wealthy Baghdad neighborhood.
A militant whose voice resembled al-Zarqawi, who has been linked to al-Qaida, read a
statement in the video saying the next hostage would be killed in 24 hours unless all
Muslim women prisoners are released from U.S. military jails.
"You, sister, rejoice. God's soldiers are coming to get you out of your chains and
restore your purity by returning you to your mother and father," he said before
grabbing the hostage, seated at his feet, and cutting his throat.
The kidnappers read out a statement, as the hostage rocked back and forth and side to side
where he sat. After finishing, the militant pulled a knife and cut his throat until the
head was severed. The victim gasped loudly as blood poured from his neck. His killer held
up the head at one point, and placed it on top of the body
"The fate of the first infidel was cutting off the head before your
eyes and ears. You have a 24-hour opportunity. Abide by our demand in full and release all
the Muslim women, otherwise the head of the other will follow this one," the speaker
said.
Tawhid and Jihad - Arabic for "Monotheism and Holy War" - has claimed
responsibility for killing at least six hostages, including Armstrong and another
American, Nicholas Berg, who was abducted in April. The group has also said it is behind a
number of bombings and gun attacks.
The militant on the video called President Bush "a dog" and addressed him,
saying, "Now, you have people who love death just like you love life. Killing
for the sake of God is their best wish, getting to your soldiers and allies are
their happiest moments, and cutting the heads of the criminal infidels is implementing
the orders of our lord."
Armstrong grew up in Hillsdale, Mich., but left the area around 1990. His brother, Frank,
still lives there. Armstrong's work in construction took him around the world; he lived in
Thailand with his wife before going to Iraq. In a statement released after the video was
posted, Armstrong's family said: "This is what we did not want to hear. We are
praying for Jack Hensley and Kenneth Brigley and their families." |
